Gap Year is a break, a constructive timeout between life stages called a year, but it can also be a shorter period. It is the time that a person spends outside his usual comfort zone, fully dedicated to personal and professional growth. Gap Year is about travelling, volunteering, working and learning abroad. It is about deepening a person’s passions and thinking outside the box. A gap year is about living life to its fullest |
