Interested in taking a Gap Year?

More and more young people nowadays are taking the opportunity to have a Gap Year before going to university, college or into full-time employment. Some young people choose to stay in the UK, whereas others want to head further afield to distant shores.

There is a growing industry of companies keen to promote their products and keen to get young people's (or their parents') cash, so choose carefully and do some research before jumping in at the deep end.
