“Every gap year student should have some skills training to help them travel in a more sensible and informed way. There are very few things in life that we expect to go off and do with no training, so why do we assume that travelling in the developing world can be achieved without preparation?”
Charlotte Hindle – author of Lonely Planet’s ‘Gap Year Guide’


Safe Gap Year has developed an Independent Travel Safety & Cultural Awareness Workshop designed for gap year and independent travellers of all ages.

The workshop helps participants prepare effectively to travel more safely and provides them with the knowledge to make informed judgements both prior to and during their travels.

The workshop has been developed to be effective for the mainstream ‘gapper’ / independent traveller and to deal with the realistic problems which they may encounter; problems which can cut short and ruin a trip, lead to significant costs, legal difficulties and health issues.

It provides participants with skills, knowledge, confidence and perspective to help them make the most of all the new challenges and exciting opportunities they encounter. « less
