Gap Year?

As I have stated before I will be finishing college within the next few weeks which I can not wait for! (Biggest smile on my face)

It's not that I don't like education it's just the way it's taught and how you are treated, a number rather then a person. This being the reason why I want to take a break from 'education' and explore what the world has to offer.

I thought the best way for me to continue learning and expanding my knowledge but at the same time have a break from the formal rules to learning would be to take a gap year where I go travelling.

The plan is to start in Europe in July for 22days. I'll be doing this with four of my friends and its kinda a warm up for the real adventure.

The places I'll be going are:
(Refer to 1st photo)

We will be staying in hostels and be living on a budget as I am the tightest person with my money and hate, absolutely hate seeing my bank balance go down, plus my friends have only just got a job and therefore don't have much saved up.

However what is the point in earning if your not gonna enjoy it??

We will be visiting the tourist hot spots in each city. (I'll photograph and blog nearer the time about what we get up to)

But the most exciting news is the real gap year, I plan on working from August to January none stop to enable me to go to Australia and maybe Thailand on the way back! All by my self!!

I want to go up the east coast of Australia on a working visa as this will top up my travelling budget. At the same time as taking sky-diving, learning to surf, outback reach and many more things.

This is why I think that I will continue to learn just not in the 'normal' way because learning does not only take place in a class room but actually going out there and doing things that is how you learn and enrich your knowledge and understanding.

This is not to say that I will not be going back to 'education' after my gap year as I would love to study business management/ human resource but its about finding out more than what someone can teach you from a book.

However until then I have two exams and a lot of coursework to finish so my motivation is my board (see 2nd photo).
