Do it your own way
They say two heads are better than one, and you may have noticed something: we’re experts in what we do; and you’re an expert in what you do. Just as the moon yanks at the tide, your lifestyle persuades your adventures. We talk to travellers every single day, from all walks of life.One moment we’re talking to a brace of students about taking a Gap Year, as they come up for air after finishing their education. The next, we’re swapping ideas with a young professional about their plans for a career break. And of course, we welcome 1000s of excitable people into our stores every year, to discuss their next big adventure. We value your independence, from the very moment we meet.
| Gap Year |
|---|
 While some people still associate Gap Years and “Mini” Gap Years as one long party, most people now realise that they’re a great opportunity to fine tune the skills you’ve learned at school or university. They provide a perfect blend of independence, education and adventure, making them an irresistible choice for 1000s of young people every year. We offer some of the most comprehensive work and play combinations on the market; including tailored working holidays in Australia and New Zealand, which offer priceless opportunities to evolve your skills and enhance your CV; and volunteer placements, which plant you right in the middle of projects where you can make a genuine difference.

| Career Break |
|---|
 We believe that everybody deserves to travel, which is why we cater for all ages and aspirations. Whether you’re looking to escape the rat race and soak up the rays for a few months, or embarking on a year-long epic adventure, we’ve got you covered. Do you realise, a career break doesn’t have to be a break from your career? It could be the perfect opportunity to reboot your options. Travel is teeming with benefits; you’ll develop valuable skills, such as time management, plus you’ll enhance communication skills and project management, as well as learning how to manage a tight budget. It’s all there if you look for it! Start considering where you want to go, and what you want to take from it. |
| Round the World |
|---|
 The other side of the world is no longer a figment of our childhood imaginations; it’s possible. Each year, we help 1000s of travellers, of every age and background, to travel around the world and blast open theirhorizons. They become inspired by the cultures and contrasts of faraway places, and return home feeling revived and fresh. Round the world travel is all about exploring a mixed bag of countries, cultures and adventures. Right now, our customers are enjoying some amazing experiences; volunteering with children in the Peruvian Andes; tramping around the Himalayas; and getting their surf instructor stripes in a secret Aussie surf camp.

| Work and Learn |
|---|
 Work, meet Learn. Learn, meet Work. You two will get on just fine. I mean, why wouldn’t you? Working Holidays in Australia and New Zealand offer some of the world’s best opportunities to pick up new skills or pave the way for your chosen career path. Then there’s TEFL (Teach English as a Foreign Language) which is pretty much the ‘poster boy’ for Work and Learn. These teaching qualifications can grant you access to some of the most rewarding English teaching jobs on the planet, where tiny little people will laugh and smile, and slowly but surely, pick up your accent.

| Adventures |
|---|
 Saddle up, cowboy/girl/eunuch/ hermaphrodite we’re going on an adventure! Yeeeeeeeha! Right. What exactly does that mean then? Well it could mean anything, from hurling yourself out of a pllaaaaaaaaaaanne with nothing but a parachute and a cuddly bloke strapped to your back. It could mean a month long journey surrounded by exciting new friends, as you discover ancient kingdoms in the shadows of a rising sun. It could mean splashing around in the river, clambering over mountains, hurling yourself off bridges, delving through local markets, sneaking through savannahs, hurtling along on horseback or kicking back on secret beaches. Yes, we know all about adventures! |
| Volunteer |
|---|
 Hands up who wants to help out with panda conservation in China? OK, great. And hands up if you fancy helping build a better future for the loggerhead turtles in Greece? Anyone for helping to teach the children ofThailand’s hill tribes a little English? Who’s game for palling up with the whale sharks in South Africa? And we need a few people to chip in some hours at an orphanage in Mozambique? Hands up for Galapagos bonanza? And how about a few people to help the big cats in Mexico? Right, I think that’s everyone. I think all that’s left for us to say is, pick up our Volunteering brochure from your local store… today! Find out more about volunteering > |
