Past Gap Year Experiences

Gap Year Brochure

If you are wondering who has travelled with Real Gap and you're a little unsure about taking that first step towards planning your own gap year, why not read about the experiences of previous gap year travellers that embarked on a gap year project with us.

It's always good to get some impartial advice from people who have been there and done it. Hopefully their positive experiences will help to influence you to start planning a trip for yourself.

Africa

Past Travel Experiences in Africa An Africa gap year is an excellent place for volunteer work abroad, whether you help Africa or take part in Africa Conservation. We have opportunities to volunteer with wildlife, communities, children, marine life and voluntary conservation work. 

Africa has an extraordinary diversity of wildlife and some of the most unspoilt wilderness and conservation areas in the world, Real Gap's projects are some of the best available in Africa. There is a vibrant mixture of cultures and African people are friendly and welcoming.

Asia

Past Travel Experiences in Asia Asia is a hugely diverse region with so much to offer. We have Asia gap year volunteer work and travel programmes throughout the continent offering volunteer work with children, within under-privileged communities, animal conservation or paid work abroad.

In addition we have expeditions and adventure sports programmes for those looking for the alternative travel experience!

Australasia

Past Travel Experiences in Australasia Australasia has a warm climate, fabulous beaches and friendly people making it an extremely popular destination for gap year students.   

Real Gap has a wide range of volunteer projects in Australia, along with many paid work options in both Oz and New Zealand. If that isn't enough, for fun you could try surf school, scuba diving or a sports training academy. Australasia can be incorporated into many of our around the world itineraries so you won't miss out!

South America

Past Travel Experiences in South America Take a gap year to South America to teach English and volunteer abroad. We offer an extensive range of travel options; short volunteer holidays, language lessons and longer volunteering in Latin America.

As a volunteer you could help improve the lives of some of South America's poorest people or take part in volunteer work with wildlife in vital animal conservation work.

Eastern Europe

Past Travel Experiences in Eastern Europe Eastern Europe is a new, alternative destination to travel on a gap year - do something unique on your gap year, rather than following the crowds to the usual backpacker destinations.  

Eastern European travel is easy and cheap from the UK so you wont have to save up the money for expensive flights, something that prevents many people from taking time out. We have worthwhile volunteer projects - teaching or caring for children, working within the community or more physical work as an Orphanage Building volunteer.

USA and Canada

Past Travel Experiences in USA and Canada Take a gap year in North America. North America offers a mixture of culture and scenery. We can help you find paid gap year work in America or Canada, get involved in volunteer work in the USA or just have an adventure and travel North America.  

There are some great volunteer projects, choose from volunteering with wildlife in Texas or environmental conservation work in California. A great start to gap year travel in North America!
