Track our Travellers
Track our travellers, you may just be surprised how familiar some of their thoughts sound… If you can't decide what to pack, are worried about saying goodbye to your family and friends, or aren't too sure whether now is the right time in life to travel, then you are not alone. Many of our travellers have the very same worries and concerns.
We thought it might just help if you could follow other grown up gappers from the very beginning of their journeys. We will show you why they have taken the decision to travel, and how they are feeling before, during and after their trips.
Ian Robinson
Ian caught the travel bug a few years back when he was 21 on a trip to America. Now a Senior Manager for a large Supermarket chain, his feet have started to itch again and he has taken action by arranging an 8 month round the world trip starting in 2010. We asked him a few questions. |

When Geoff separated from his partner and sold his house, he found himself in the position to take a career break from his role at Tescos as a Resource Manager. He found Gap Year for Grown Ups on the Internet and read about our sister company on Facebook, and decided to book a tailor-made, round the world trip. During his travels Geoff wants to see the world and maybe even find himself along the way! We are keeping up with his blog throughout his journey to see how he is getting on… |
