Work or play?
The first thing you should consider is what type of trip you want to take. Your gap year is your chance to decompress and gain essential life experience after the long-haul that was high-school.

Work
A great way to extend your holiday longer is to find work or engage in some volunteering while abroad. Utilise your skills and look for opportunities that will allow you the flexibility to earn a living income, while ensuring you’re able to get out there and meet new people and see what you want to see.
If volunteering is more your thing, there’s no better way to get an in-depth look at local culture, and it’ll look great on your resume.
Be sure to try and line something up before you leave home, though, so you’re not under pressure, and check out what work permits or specific Visa type you’ll need.

If you’ve had enough of responsibility for a while and need to spend some time heading wherever the prevailing wind takes you, then all you’ll need to do is make sure your passport is current, with enough validity left to cover your trip, and organise your Visa.
