What to Do

Travel

Embrace the thrill of discovery as you venture into new cultures, landscapes, and experiences. Travel broadens your horizons, fosters independence, and creates lifelong memories. Whether you backpack through Southeast Asia, hike the Camino de Santiago in Spain, or explore the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, each destination holds the promise of captivating stories and personal transformation

Volunteer

Make a meaningful impact by dedicating your time and skills to worthy causes. Volunteering allows you to give back, develop empathy, and gain a deeper understanding of social issues. Engage in wildlife conservation in South Africa, teach English to children in Thailand, or assist with community development projects in Costa Rica. The joy of volunteering lies in the knowledge that your efforts are making a tangible difference in the lives of others.

Work

Embrace the opportunity to gain valuable work experience while immersing yourself in new environments. Working during your gap year allows you to develop essential skills, build your resume, and become financially independent. Whether it’s bartending in an Irish pub in Dublin, interning at a startup in Silicon Valley, or teaching skiing in the Swiss Alps, the work experiences you undertake will shape your professional journey and offer valuable insights into different industries.

Intern

Seize the chance to explore a specific field or career path through internships. Internships provide practical, hands-on experience and a glimpse into professional life. Work in a media production company in New York City, intern at a research institute in Berlin, or join a fashion design studio in Paris. Interning allows you to refine your skills, expand your network, and gain a deeper understanding of your chosen field.
