(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, February 15, 2016 ) Florida, UK -- Also known as a sabbatical year, or year off, some 40,000 individual American students participated in 2013. Gap years allow young people to sometimes experience real freedom for the first time in their lives. Ody travel Gear commissioned research to help the Gap Year and has published the following top five tips below:
1) Stay Healthy. Be careful what food and drink is eaten and drunk depending on the country being visited. The last thing that people want is to become very ill by not taking the necessary precautions. Make sure research is done on what vaccinations are required.
2) Take out proper travel insurance that covers for the country visited and also for health, including emergency medical evacuation and repatriation.
3) Budget properly. Many people will be going to get some already arranged work or intend to find work during the year. Some choose to use up savings to fund their trips. Either way, it is important for people to have done some sensible and realistic budgeting to include a back up for emergency situations.
4) Stay safe. Hide personal identification, money, passport and essential travel items and do not leave in rooms, hostels or even trust many hotel safes. Ody Travel Gear suggests using a hidden document pouch such as their Neck Wallet which has Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Blocking. The tri-fold travel pouch is discreet and will keep passports, money, ID cards and other valuables safe and can be worn under the body.
5) Keep Parents informed. In this modern world it is far easier to stay in touch with friends and family. Remember people will want gap year students to enjoy themselves but it dos not mean that they won't worry. All it takes is a weekly update if possible!
