Gap Year Round the World

A gap year round the world is an opportunity to use your year out to travel on your dream ‘trip of a lifetime.’ The idea of round the world travel may sound almost too good to be true but - once you’ve decided where you want to go - it’s generally extremely easy (with the help of Real Gap’s expert travel advisers) to put together. What’s more a gap year round the world doesn’t necessarily have to cost the earth - in fact some gap year round the world tickets can cost little or no more than a return flight to Australia.

A really useful round the world gap year option is to get a paid job at some point on your travels – and Real Gap can help arrange this in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, New Zealand and the USA. Working on a round the world gap year has two key benefits. Most obviously getting a job makes your gap year money go further but, almost as importantly, it’s also a great way to fully experience local culture on a round the world gap year. Another excellent way to immerse yourself in local culture on a round the world gap year is by working as a volunteer at some point – and Real Gap has a diverse range of extremely rewarding volunteer gap year projects to choose from all over the world.
