You should absolutely take a Gap year to travel. Taking a year off to explore the world is a great way to learn new things, grow as an individual and make new friends. In fact, it will even make you more attractive to potential employers, as they will see you as more adaptable, confident and a person that's innovative and independent.

A Gap year can be a great way of enhancing your resume, learn new skills, and travel. Typically it’s a year-long break before or after university or college, traditionally spent abroad. It’s the perfect time to take advantage of being able to travel freely before the next chapter of your education or career begins.

You can go anywhere on a Gap year. Some people decide that they would like to work while they are abroad in order to pay for their travels. There are a lot of places that offer work visa programs for those under 30, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Japan. Others may tend to work before they travel and some may want to do an around the world Gap year trip taking in as many countries and cultures as possible within their budget.
