Need Gap Year Advice?

Deciding what to do on a gap year can be a pretty daunting task. There are just so many activities and places to visit, it can be difficult to work out how you’ll cram it all in to your allotted time (oh, and your budget…let’s not forget that important little variable!). Smaller Earth is a one stop shop for all of your gap year travel needs. We can provide a consultative approach and will work with you to guide you into the most appropriate travel program for your desires.

Ever media savvy, you can talk to a member of the Smaller Earth team via online web chat, or if you’re a bit of a fan of the old-school there will always be a friendly voice at the end of the phone. The program range we can offer is so diverse, you’ll be able to talk through all of the pros and cons of each with your advisor. Yes, that’s right, we said ‘cons’ – not all programs will suit all people. That’s how honest we are. If you tell us enough about what you want to get out of your program, we can honestly advise you of the suitability of certain programs. We want to make sure you get the most out of your experience, so we’re not going to send you on a program we’re not sure you’ll enjoy. In fact, we’re hoping you enjoy the experience so much you tell all of your friends and family, and hopefully they’ll accompany you on your next Smaller Earth trip!

From volunteering in the African Savannah with lions at a rehabilitation centre to experiencing the busy hubbub of an internship in India, you really can have the experience of a lifetime to suit you. If a summer spent close to nature is your thing, the Antelope Park will be a holiday of dreams. If you’re looking to grow as an international individual, the Indian internship will most certainly provide valuable CV experience and an unforgettable experience to boot.

If working with children is something you’ve always enjoyed, why not look to work as an Au Pair in China and gain a real insight into the fascinating culture as well as improving your language skills with Mandarin lessons.

The Australian adventure is something many a keen traveller dreams of, and Smaller Earth have a wonderfully convenient program packed full of exciting adventure from day one. You’ll make friends on the ultimate training induction before departing to a ranch of your choice for a well-paid role, perfect to kick start the gap year travels.
