Gap Years for Adults
I am definitely not advocating a year off work but if you are in need of an adventure and feel the urge to get something more from life then check out Gap years for adults. I looked into this myself after 3 weeks in Africa.
Be warned though you will need to save the pennies, these are not cheap travelling trips. It is mostly volunteering and you need to raise a certain amount of money to be able to sponsor yourself where ever you decide to go. The problem with companies like these is they take a huge chunk of the money you pay, however they do take all the hassle out of a trip like this – Visas, places to stay, sorting out a host etc, these would be difficult to sort out on your own.
And they also offer once in a lifetime experiences – I personally really want to go to Malaysia to do the Orang-utan Experience.
