The benefits of gap years for students have long been accepted, but increasing numbers of older people are now following their example by putting their normal lives on hold and going off to see something of the world. For these people this fully revised 2nd edition of Gap Years for Grown Ups includes all the essential information on the enormous range of opportunities. The text is vividly illustrated with over 100 first hand stories and case histories from grown ups who have taken Gap Years to show the reader what they can expect from their career break.
