Product Description

Book Description
The idea of a gap year-taking a year off for traveling-is becoming increasingly popular with recently graduated high school or college students as well as older adults who are looking for a change of pace and scenery. This guide offers advice to would-be explorers (and their concerned parents), including practical information on everything from packing to personal safety. Be it for a couple of weeks or a couple of years, every aspect of planning a trip is discussed, from making the decision to go to selecting travel companions, saving for the trip, and choosing places to visit. Both first-time and experienced travelers will find much-needed assistance to taking the first steps on the journey of a lifetime.

Synopsis
A must-have for every young traveller, this book offers advice from gap year expert Tom Griffiths for anyone contemplating taking time off to travel. Revised and updated, this edition includes a Web directory, and details of Internet access.

5.0 out of 5 stars For a first time traveller, 1 Oct 2002
A very good book, full of useful but general information. This books gives many invaluable tips on traveling including safty, traveling alone, meeting people, equipment, packing, parents, saving, do's and don't, etc... and also many of 'tom's tips' which would normally be overlooked by virgin travellers.
A book for travelers by travelers... Essential.
