Australia
If you are considering
a place to spend your gap year, then Australia should be up there on your list.
The continental island offers so much activity to keep you busy throughout your
year. The country is large, with wilderness tours, city adventures, farm
activities, as well as beach experiences beckoning. What’s more, with so many
backpackers and students travelling to the country, Australia has good
infrastructure to support. There are plenty of hostels, cheap hotels, as well
as cozy B&Bs en route to almost anywhere. You can also get a one-year work
permit easily if you are aged 18-31, and live while working; a great way to cut
costs of living.
China
The Dragon of the East
opened up its borders a while back. While many consider it to be a daunting
place to visit because of language barrier, it actually may play to your
advantage. China’s long history, ancient culture, as well as vast terrain offer
an exciting gap year experience. With booming cities, China offers you the
adventure of a lifetime as you wander the streets of Beijing or Shanghai.
What’s more, you can get a job teaching English at a local school, and
supplement your income. Depending on how you live, it is very possible to live
affordably.
France
For those keen on adventure and excitement,
take a snow gap year in France’s famous ski resort areas. Enjoy all year white
as you learn how to ski from the masters. France offers special gap year ski
programs that allow you to work part time and learn full time “the ways of the
slope”. If you fancy an exciting year with fellow gap mates enjoying off-piste
adventures, rugged mountain views, delicious French cuisine, and a chance to
tour the beautiful French countryside occasionally, then this is for you.
South Africa
Another exciting gap-year destination is
the Rainbow Nation in the south of Africa. It is a country overcoming its
painful past to clinch a blossoming future. Spend a gap year here witnessing
the rapid development that has now characterized this beautiful country. From
the gold city of Johannesburg, the beautiful Cape Verde, to the exciting
wildlife reserves, the country is teeming with activity and adventure. When you
have had your fill of its lovely beaches, head inland for sights that will live
with you throughout your life. Get a taste of the vibrant South African musical
culture, rhythms and harmonies that will play through your head for ages to
come.
India
One of the world’s most famous backpacking
adventures, India is an enigma waiting to be explored. Every year, thousands of
gap year takers head over to the mystical state to enjoy the thrills of this
exotic country. Here, there are literally thousands of places to visit, things
to do, and cuisines to try out. What’s more, life here is very cheap, allowing
you to enjoy life on a budget. If you want to earn a little money, you can look
for an English teaching job, or get a job with a local NGO. Indeed, the country
will offer you insights into a different culture and life; life changing
experience.
