Why Take a Gap Year?
Why go on a gap year? Our definition of taking a gap is taking time out to do something fun, exciting, different and memorable. The duration of that gap is entirely up to you. It could be anything from a couple of weeks to a couple of years; it's simply taking a break from your normal routine to experience some of the amazing things that this world has to offer.
