As you enter into your final year of high school, you will have an important question: what is the next step of my life? If you don’t know what do you want to do, you can take a gap year. This isn’t a period to waste time. So, what can you do?
The American Gap Association in 2015 made survey. The asked individuals 18 to 60 years old who have taken a gap year - indicate their primary motivation for taking a gap year. The most popular intentions are:
Personal - gain life experience and experience personal growth, travel, volunteering;
Academic - a break from the traditional academic track;
Career - explore careers and taking work experience.
If I get a gap year, I will spend it on travelling or taking work experience. How about working holidays in Canada?

Review from Patricia (United States)
«BUNAC was so helpful all the way through the whole process. They were more than happy to answer any questions that I had and made things very clear and easy. They were also very quick and everything in total took about 2 months overall to complete. I am extremely happy and impressed with how everything turned out and how comfortable and happy I was with this whole experience.»
