One of the many things a high school student looks forward to is their gap year. Some choose to stay in town and get jobs in order to gain work experience. Some choose to travel and gain some life experience. There are also those teens who choose to travel extensively and go backpacking across the globe. They may visit 3-4 destinations and stay at each place for a few weeks or a couple of months.
Along with visiting certain famous tourist spots, many of these student travelers choose places which are off the beaten track. They stay at agricultural farms located at charming little hamlets. They work in these farms in exchange for food and accommodation which is provided by the host families. It is a great way to learn about a foreign culture and work ethics. Many of them volunteer at certain NGOs of other countries or of their own cities. This usually proves to be a life enriching and sometimes, life altering experience.
Though globe-trotting during the gap year is not a new concept, its popularity have increased in recent years. More and more students are opting for a sabbatical and travelling with their friends. There are also those lone wolves who choose to travel alone. One common factor among these travelers is that they usually travel with a low budget. If you fall under this category, then you can look up online and find the cheapest flight booking site.
If you don’t have fixed travel plans and need to book your tickets and travel packages on the go, then the best option for you is to use the various travel and airline apps which can be downloaded to your smart phone and tablet. Using these apps you’ll be able to find the cheapest fares for flight tickets. On your travels, if you decide to leave the accommodation provided by your host family and find some other option for lodging, then these travel apps will help you find some great accommodation in discounted rates. The apps will also help you to find conveyance and info on the city or village you choose to stay in.
