Title – Workers take Gap Years too

Gap Years are increasingly open to a much wider section of society. Once the reserve of the young adult in search of adventure and even then, only those whose parents could afford to support them, they are now open to everyone who has the confidence to pack a bag and set off to find their own special sunset.
But old or young, rich or self funded, the problems faced when away tend to be the same. Travelling is a great leveller, you arrive at your hotel or hostel and everyone is the same boat and many have the same ambitions. It’s a great way to meet people of all ages and a great way to meet people from all over the world. Travelling 10 years ago in Australia, you would meet British travellers at every turn and if you were lucky a few Europeans and the odd American. Now if you are staying in a hostel dorm, you’ll be lucky enough to find that most of the people you are sharing a room with are from all over the world.
We can help you prepare for your travels and set off in confidence to explore the world and make the most of all the experiences you have with the people you meet along the way. From personal safety information and personal safety techniques to what equipment you’ll need and how to behave in the new countries to ensure that you don’t offend cultural sensitivities, our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety and Awareness workshop will help you plan in the best way possible to ensure your trip is a positive and safe experience.
