Adventurous Gap Year Projects

So what counts as an adventurous gap? In one sense, travelling half way around the world and spending anything up to a year immersed in a different culture is going to be a real adventure, but this section is less about digging wells in sub-Saharan Africa, and more about making your way to Everest base camp, or learning how to teach people to ski in the Canandian Rockies.

When choosing the course that is right for you, make sure you think about how much 'hand holding' you want there to be. Some companies take care of everything for you, from meeting you at the airport to feeding you each night. On other projects you are expected to sort yourself out and make your own adventure. Read the small print on each option to make sure you get what you are expecting.
