With so many different Gap Year books out there, I was completely confused, but this book is really helpful. With a section on planning that covered all the important stuff, such as: visas, passports, accommodation, money and tips on fundraising for the trip; with other sections on travelling, placements and a country-by-country guide this book covers everything. Even a complete list of gap year companies was in here, so I could contact them immediately. Thanks to this book I figured out where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do and how to do it!
