Dreaming of world travel but worried that it isn’t safe? Worried or nervous about taking a gap year? Want to keep yourself and your belongings safe and risk free? Need real, practical safety advice from the experts? Then you need this book!
We all want to stay safe when travelling the world, and staying safe on your gap year is all about having the right knowledge, the right information and the right level of preparation. So prepare yourself for your gap year or backpacking trip by reducing any potential risk as much as possible with real advice from qualified experts.
Gap Year Safety covers everything from preparation and research, what to take, how to stay safe and deal with difficult or dangerous situations abroad and is the essential resource for anyone preparing for their first round the world adventure.
Gap Year Safety is not here to increase the paranoia that is already out there about backpacking safety, it isn’t here to instill fear into you by exaggerating the dangers or risks that exist out on the road. It is in fact here to do the exact opposite.
Backpacking across the world or taking a gap year is actually very safe, thousands of backpackers head off across the globe every single year and come back completely safe and sound.
Yes there are inherent risks and dangers on the road, just as there are anywhere at any time. Life itself invites risk, it invites danger. The trick to keeping yourself safe is using common sense, preparation and knowledge to reduce the risks of anything negative happening to you, and knowing how and when to act if things do go wrong.
That knowledge and information is what Gap Year Safety can give you. With the advice and knowledge contained within this book many dangerous situations can be avoided altogether, or at the very least dealt with safely if they do occur.
Gap Year Safety is here to make sure you have the tools, knowledge and information you need to keep yourself safe, but it is also here to inspire you to travel without being afraid, to reassure and encourage you to take those first steps to becoming a backpacker and help you achieve a level of self confidence and self reliance that will serve you well on your round the world trip.
