Plan Your Gap Year With Gapwork.com

At Gapwork.com we believe that travel and work abroad is something that everyone can do, with the right planning and support. When you make the decision to go for it and go for an extended trip overseas or working holiday, you just need to be realistic about how much money you need to support yourself, and how easy it will be to get that money together. That is why on this, our new site, we have developed a brand new page called Fund Your Gap Year, which is designed to help you plan, budget and raise money for your trip.

We have also got a whole new page dedicated to Late Deals, and getting you the best value packages for your trip, whether you want to go on a volunteering placement in Africa, or get a working holiday visa for Australia. 

We know that it's not straightforward finding work abroad and gap year jobs. That's why we have kept our sections on Summer Jobs, Winter Ski Jobs, Temporary Jobs and Sports Abroad, as well as separate sections specialising in Sports and Ski, Au Pair jobs and Study Abroad.

The big question is of course, where to travel to? The best gap year destinations are those which offer the opportunity to work or volunteer, to experience local culture, and to meet both local people and other travellers. Our Gap Year Destinations pages can help you to make up your mind about where to travel to. The best backpacker destinations also have loads of opportunity for adventure travel and travelling ideas. The organisations you will find in these sections will help you to make the best choices for your gap year or year out, all you need to do is take the time to browse our gorgeous new website and enjoy!
