The real voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes, but in seeking it with new eyes.

Travelling abroad forces us to become more receptive, more attentive and more open. In other words, venturing forth means living life right now in the fullest sense and actively enjoying it.

It requires flexibility, patience, motivation and people who genuinely respect other cultures. Travellers go abroad to experience new cultures first hand and to grow themselves.

So setting out on a global adventure is an opportunity to act on your inspiration and motivation, while gaining a greater global perspective. It’s not as difficult as you think and will provide you with a number of tangible real-world benefits. Whether you are a student, recent graduate or mid-career professional, you can take a gap year abroad to travel. This means taking anywhere from two weeks to up to a year to pursue a travel-related dream. It’s a time to re-evaluate your where you are right now in life and where you want to go with it. Can you add an extra level of depth and meaning to your current job? Is it time to change careers? Do you want to kick-start yourself and your personal goals with the challenge of going overseas?

You can do this by talking to us because we’ve done it. We can show you how to travel for an extended period of time or how to go abroad just once for the trip of a lifetime. Travelling is about renewing your sense of the role you play in the world.

You already understand the obvious educational and character-building opportunities of travel. Maybe you’ve already spent a summer in Europe and worked as an ESL teacher in Japan. But doing a gap year of travel with Gap Year Abroad is different. It’s about taking the time to deliberately set yourself apart from tourists and to explore yourself and your participation in the world. Travelling in a gap year is also about being challenged, having fun and realizing that you’re braver than you think you are.

Return to your school or job revitalized and refreshed and with a deeper understanding of the world around you. We’ve got the tools; you only need to supply the imagination.

We’re here to help you find the right itinerary that matches your personal needs and tastes. And we will help you navigate your choices every step of the way.

Open your mind, build your personal resources and develop self-confidence. Travel.
