Every student desperately wants to take a gap year and
travel the world, however very few of us actually follow through with the plan.
Limited funds and a struggle to find friends also able to go holds
thousands back every year, but there may be hope for us yet.
Several
organisations now exist who cater travel plans for young people; arranging
everything from accommodation, activities and catering for clients. Social media
is also adopted by these companies to allow travellers on the same journey to
interact with and get to know each other before leaving, easing the fear of
travelling to the other side of the world alone.
Contiki Holidays is one such company
offering young people the opportunity to customise trips to suit their
requirements and allowing travellers to interact with one another before
departing.
