Advantages: Amazing opportunities, Good value for money, Organised

Disadvantages: I got bored of rice!, I had to come home

Taking a year out with GAP is the best thing I could have done.

GAP organises placements for over 1,500 18 and 19 year olds each year and go to over 30 countries around the world. I had the most amazing time and would recommend everyone to take a year out.

I went with GAP to Malaysia where I taught in a state boarding school two hours south of Kuala Lumpur in Melaka. I spent six months in the school working with students aged 11 - 18 and teaching them English, drama, music and art. I made some really great friends and got to travel in the holidays around South East Asia and Australia.

GAP were well organised and arranged everything very well and were always on the end of the phone to answer my questions. I did a lot of research into other gap year organisations before choosing GAP and I definately made the right decision. Because they are a charity they are the best value for money. It cost a basic fee of about £600 and then on top of that was the flight, visa and insurance so in total about £1,500 i guess. This included all accommodation and food whilst in Malaysia and pocket money! Bargain.

If you are thinking of taking a year out you should definately apply to GAP and be aware you'll get the travel bug!!
