Can I afford a Gap Year?

If you do something constructive or charitable during your gap year, then you are able to fundraise. This means that in effect your gap year could be free!

Many people get full time jobs for the months before they travel to get enough money to support their time away during their gap year.

Other people believe that they can't take time out from their gap year, because of the need to earn money to be able to go university. This might be true with independent travelling, but for a Trekforce expedition you are able to fundraise for the worthwhile things you will be doing overseas, so can provide the necessary income to do something above and beyond spending your gap year behind a desk or in a supermarket.
