[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd fashioned her own gap year and the basic guidance I gave her was it needed to be safe and it needed to be cheap. It was both of things and she had a great time. Check out WWOOF and Workaway For all kinds of interesting opportunities both domestic and international. These are essentially situations where you trade labor for room and board but what’s nice is they have reviews so you can base a decision on more than just the description on the website. You can also look for opportunities that are intended to be short or long depending on your preference and interest. My DD’s year was a combination of work exchange she set up through these two organizations, a paid job doing something she had always wanted to try (line cook), and some backpacking and road tripping with a few other kids who were gapping.[/quote]

Thanks -- WWOFF looks promising. Do you have to sign up to see the review or is there a discussion forum out there? We do have friends in many countries - in case she runs into trouble.

Your daughter's plan sounds reasonable!
