Thinking of taking some time off
to see the world? In England (and many other parts of the world), it’s almost for traditional for students to
take a "gap year" — the year between high school and university — to travel. Now, however, more and
more older people are taking sabbaticals from their work anywhere from a month to a year — to spend some time
exploring.
If you are thinking of taking some time off from work, the BBC has a great website to help you plan your
trip. The page for "grown-up gappers" has a case story, sample itineraries (depending on how much
you’d like to spend), and tools to help you determine your travel budget, and information to help you choose where to
go. A great resource.
