Providing an escape for career breakers and travellers in search of something different, Gap Year for Grown Ups have launched an exclusive late getaway offer that will allow travellers to save on last minute trips. Running throughout November, the offer gives explorers the chance to get free travel insurance for the duration of their trip, if they book a programme departing before the end of 2009!*
A fantastic combination of off-the-beaten track travel and a higher temperature, travellers can also use their time away to get involved with worthwhile projects overseas. Without the worry of travel insurance mature explorers can take their pick of adventurous travel options and volunteer programmes in over 45 destinations around the world, covering the Asian, African, Central and South American continents.
Cultural travellers looking to explore the world’s largest continent without as much red tape can choose to immerse themselves in Asian culture, trek through stunning scenery and feast their eyes on historic sites with the China Experience. Those who want to combine learning with adventure can gain a useful internationally recognised qualification and dive in pristine tropical waters when they opt for a Thailand scuba diving course.
It may be second in size to South East Asia, but there are still plenty of experiences waiting for last minute travellers in Africa. The South Africa Big 5 programme is not just a chance to get up close to some of Africa’s biggest game, but also a unique opportunity to assist in their preservation. Volunteers with a more personal touch in mind can also lend a hand with community projects in Tanzania by providing children, youths and adults with the care, education and skills they need.
Conservation enthusiasts can combine their love of wildlife with the more welcoming climate of the Americas on several late getaway trips across Central and South America. Those in search of an exotic climate can head to South America and lend a hand with Ecuador Animal Rescue in the Amazon, or use their English skills to help the local inhabitants for Galapagos Island teaching. For travellers with tamer tastes, Gap Year for Grown Up’s Wildlife Sanctuary in Florida and Gibbon Conservation project in California, give volunteers a chance to experience a different side of these popular destinations while helping to care for an array of animals including leopards, tigers, wolves, cougars, gibbons ad native American animals.
Grown Ups who want to make the most of this brilliant offer may need some travel tips to help them make a choice before the end of November! More information limited about this exceptional offer and options from Gap Year for Grown Ups visit http://www.gapyearforgrownups.co.uk/
