So you’re set on taking a gap year and now the question is: What exactly should you go for? In fact, there are various options you can choose for your gap year abroad. Here are some options you can choose from that we have found can really benefit young people searching for a new path or an impacting journey:

1. Learning a New Language

Speaking another language is a wonderful benefit that enables you to travel, talk to people from different countries and at the same time, it can have a positive impact on your career. Especially if you want to immerse yourself in the Spanish language, taking classes with native Spanish speakers will help you improve your communication and comprehension skills. Interactive classes during the day along with cultural activities can help you enhance your language skills and experience Spanish culture in your free time!

2. Doing an Internship

You can learn a lot of things in school but when you enter the real world and get your first job you will see what life is really about. An internship can help you decide whether after finishing your studies you would like to work in the same field or if it’s not actually the best choice for you. Choose a company that you would like to work for and boost your credentials and business skills. What’s more, you’ll have the chance to work with international colleagues, form new friendships, and work in a diverse work environment.

3. Volunteer Program

Volunteering abroad means an opportunity to travel and explore other cultures while helping others! Getting involved in environmental projects, working with populations at risk of social exclusion, or helping people from underprivileged backgrounds. These activities will not only be helpful to others but they will also benefit you, both personally and professionally. It is a rewarding way to spend your time overseas while exploring a new country, meeting new people, and improving a foreign language.
