Gap Year in New Zealand
Cheaper, greener and more entrepreneurial than Australia, New Zealand is a wise choice for a gap year. It’s a magnet for life-hungry Brits: 200,000 backpackers and 27,000 migrants converge on the island every year. It’s the size of the UK with a population of only 4 million – compare that to the 60 million living over here, and you start to build a picture of wide, open spaces and peaceful living.
Many travellers to New Zealand sign up for adventure packages – combining a dream job with the opportunity to take part in outdoor activity. If you choose a work package, look for one with a guaranteed placement.
