The organization turned out to be unorganized, expensive and very unhelpful. They came to our high school and seemed to be the only program addressing gap year opportunities -however there are others out there and I would encourage you to explore them.

Otherwise travel and hotel costs build up. Xtreme Gap have some great options for programs based in Koh Tao in Thailand. You can spend up to 16 weeks there on your gap year doing a Scuba Diver instructor course, then you can travel and earn at the same time. In fact you will never come home!
