A gap year isn’t a one time only deal anymore, travel doesn’t just have to be a couple of weeks holiday a year. You can choose to travel whenever you like, wherever you like for however long you like. All you have to do is incorporate travel into your life instead of thinking of it as just something you do once in a while.
