I'm looking for some awesome gap year travel blogs to follow for inspiration and ideas. What are some good ones that might give me insights into destinations and experiences I could have during my gap year?
Sure, I'm glad to share a few gap year travel blogs that could provide you with some inspiration:
1. "The Gap Year Edit" - The author, Julie, showcases a range of experiences from her own gap year and her subsequent travels. This blog is particularly handy if you're interested in solo female travel.
2. "A Little Adrift" - Run by Shannon, this blog is notable for both its storytelling and its extensive guides to destinations all around the world. Shannon's focus on slow travel and meaningful interactions could provide a different perspective on planning your gap year.
3. "The Broke Backpacker" - If you're on a budget, you'll appreciate this blog. The author, Will, shows how to travel on a shoestring, with a specific emphasis on adventure travel and outdoor activities.
4. "Dan Flying Solo" - This blog is another excellent resource for solo travel, with useful guides to various destinations and personal reflections on travel experiences.
Remember, while these blogs can be inspirational and offer great ideas, the best gap year experiences come from aligning your travels with what you personally are most interested in. Whether that means learning a new language, volunteering, gaining new skills, or immersing yourself in a different culture, it's your journey! Enjoy the planning phase as much as the trip itself and don't forget to keep safety and potential travel restrictions in mind.
