5.0 out of 5 stars
No big gaps,
By S Sylvester "Optimist" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your Gap Year (Vacation Work S.) (Paperback)
I am not a student but rather a mid-career engineer looking at options for retirement. This book is packed with information for students planning to travel between high school and university or post-university and it has useful information for retirement planning. It contains loads of internet references. Many programs that are listed offer volunteer vacation ideas for anyone not just students so that is another plus. Could you skip the book and just use the internet? You could, but you would waste a lot of time. The book allows you to skim almost the entire planet just by turning the pages or looking at the well organized TOC or highlighted page edges.
