The first Gap Years actually started in the UK in the swinging sixties when the baby-boomer generation started heading off to India to take part in the Hippie Trails. Since then Gap Years have evolved a lot and can now mean many different things, from sitting at home to backpacking around the world! Gap Years can take many forms, and there are literally endless options. It is important that you consider both your motivations behind taking a Gap Year and the type of Gap Year that will be right for you. A Gap Year is an unbelievable opportunity to learn exactly what it is that interests you. It gives you the freedom to try new things, really challenge yourself and see what is out there.
A Gap Year is an experience that will change your perception of things and give you a much greater insight into the world and people around you as well as yourself. A well planned Gap Year can be one of the most rewarding, challenging and exciting periods in your life. There is no right or wrong Gap Year; the important thing is that you have examined your own reasons for taking a Gap Year and decided what it is that you want to get out of it. Is it to earn money, travel, see new places, revisit places you already know, learn new skills or just relax? The options on your Gap Year are endless, so make sure you make the most of your time. Our only advice is to take a Gap Year of some form; not one person we have ever spoken to has ever regretted making the decision to take a Gap Year.
All the Pepper Gap Year Experiences are based on our belief that the perfect Gap Year is derived from experiencing as many activities, places and ideas as possible. A Gap Year with Pepper enables you to choose from a huge variety of courses and activities, gain valuable qualifications, whilst travelling through the incredible country of South Africa as a group. It combines the experience of travelling in a group with the flexibility of choosing your own mix of activities and courses. Our aim is for you to come out of a Gap Year Experience with Pepper with new friends and experiences, a completely new outlook on life, and possessing skills and qualifications that will allow you to work and travel throughout the world.
