The third decision is how do you want to travel on your gap year? With a team doing something structured or just backpacking?If you want to travel with a team of like minded gappers - then TEAM LEAP is for you. All admin, itinerary and social life taken care of. What we have found this year is most Leapers have started with a team programme then travelled independently afterwards with their new friends - a perfect combo.
Our team leap provides the perfect introduction to a gap year travel - as we assist you with everything from flights to visas and insurance. Not only that but you will be travelling with a ready-made team of similar people, around the same age who are ready to embrace their gap year adventures too. The perfect way to allow you to relax and enjoy your gap year with the stress taken care of by us.
All team leaps have been located so they act as the perfect spring board for onward travel. Have a look at our favourities below.
