Gap Year For Grown Ups provides the unique opportunity for you to have a truly authentic travel experience. The world is certainly becoming more easily accessible, with increased flights to more ‘remote' locations, and increasingly people are looking for an alternative to the usual package holiday where all too often there is very little contact with local people and cultures.
At Gap Year For Grown Ups, all of our programmes provide an authentic travel experience taking you beyond the usual path the average tourist takes.
By taking part in a community project you will be working closely with local staff and local communities, providing an instant introduction to new cultures and lifestyles. A wildlife project will allow you to work hands-on at sanctuaries and rehabilitation centres that are serious about protecting vulnerable species and creatures.
Our Gap Year For Grown Ups ‘experience' programmes combine voluntary work abroad with travelling allowing you to learn all about the country but without skipping any of the well-known highlights. Taking part in a conservation project means you will learn all about environments and preservation efforts taking place around the world. This is authentic travel as it's very best.
