So the A Level results are in, but instead of heading to Uni you might be one of the lucky few, who for a multitude of reasons, is opting to take a gap year.<\/p>\n

According to ABTA, bookings for gap year type holidays were on the up in 2016, \u00a0but these days it\u2019s less Gap Yah and more Gap WAP (work & play) – the new gapper seeking to enhance their CV, earn some hard cash, AND travel.<\/p>\n

Yes, that single minded, spiritual quest to find yourself is so last year, which means, if you want your year off to pay off, you’ll have to choose how and where you spend your time more wisely.<\/p>\n

From improving your team working abilities on a white water rafting trip down the Zambezi to building cross cultural social skills on a volunteer project – the list of life learning pursuits is endless\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With UK Government legislation now making it easier for institutions to offer two-year degrees to those who want a faster pace of learning, the WaP year is sure to become even more enticing – shorter courses, less debt and more time to play with, meaning there could be no better time to indulge in Africa.<\/p>\n
