Backpackers

Welcome to the Gap Year homepage

Ready for a rewarding, enriching year out? Use Season Workers and our partner site igapyear.com to thoroughly research your options. Both are a completely free resource featuring information on destinations and itineraries, as well as a searchable database of paid and voluntary opportunities.

Every year, more than 100,000 of us take a gap year or career break. The gap year and even career breaks have become a British institution and an accepted rite of passage. Whatever you’re stage of life, if you are going to travel don’t simply book a ticket – plan it well, consider all the options, and your gap year could be truly incredible.
