The Ultimate RTW Gap Year

Start in South Africa  
Fly to South Africa for an inspiring start to your gap year, making a difference to the lives of vulnerable children in Cape Town’s townships. Live with a group of volunteers, helping busy teachers and foster families, and being a positive role model to young people. In your free time, perhaps hike Table Mountain, go wine tasting in the local vineyards or go on safari!        

Continue to Australia      
Next stop, Sydney. Check into Wake Up’s downtown hostel and meet other backpackers over a cold beer, before joining a free walking tour for your first glimpse of Sydney’s iconic Opera House and harbour bridge. If you have your Working Holiday Visa you can live and work in Australia for up to two (or possibly three) years. Whether you want to find a job, travel the stunning east coast or do both, TTA has everything you need to get you going.        

Take a Short Break in Los Angeles
After living your best life in Australia, fly to California for a few days stopover. Base yourself in quirky Venice Beach, skate down the boardwalk and explore the highlights of Hollywood.

Head to Costa Rica  
Explore tropical Costa Rica with an action-packed group adventure tour. Experience outdoor adventures from night time jungle walks and canopy ziplines, to hanging bridges and hot springs. Finish up on Costa Rica’s beautiful beaches, snorkelling, kayaking or just soaking up the sun.    

The Rest of Your Gap Year!
Not ready to fly home? Explore more of South and Central America, trekking the Inca Trail or living the digital nomad lifestyle with a Selina CoLive pass, or perhaps head back across the Pacific to New Zealand or Fiji. The options are endless!
