Gap Year Trip Planners

Gap Year Trip Planners and Guides

Decided where you want to travel? Now for the fine-tuning. That’s where our trip planners come in.

Trip planners give you everything you need to know; how to get there, how to get around, what to see and do, how much it’s going to cost, and much more. They also include maps so you can build and plan your own specific route.

They cover three of the most popular backpacker destinations; Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. There’s also a round-the-world trip planner if you’re travelling to multiple countries, with information on flights and tickets, the most popular routes, and advice on how to plan your gap year.

If you’re heading to Australia, New Zealand or South Africa, then our trip planners are a good place to start.

Meeting People on your Gap Year

You really don't have to worry about meeting people while you are travelling. You will meet people everywhere, all the time. And it really is a small world. I helped out a couple of guys in Red Square in Moscow, and when my friend and I got on our train the following evening they were in the next cabin. Then we bumped into people in China who we had met on the train from Russia to Mongolia. Small world.
