Your gap year budget goes a lot further when you are not paying a gap year company more than you have to, so they can blow your hard earned gap year travel budget on “marketing”. You need to consider the budget you have to spend on your gap year, and how you are going to earn and save the money before hand. We know gap year travel can mean some personal sacrifice at first, to experience the most mind blowing situations later. That is partly the beauty of Gap year travel: the sense of achievement is that much greater when you have made it all possible yourself. Thing to take into account in your gap year travel budget include: program cost, spending money whilst you are away.
