Gap year advice

I'm currently thinking about taking a gap year and traveling before going to uni. I don't know what to do at uni and I've always wanted to travel. The only problem is that I don't really have any funds to travel. So people know of any ways that I can make money while traveling but that also means I can move from place to place. Thank you.

Hi!

There's loads of different ways to make money whilst travelling. You could look for online work to complete in your spare time. You could also look into seasonal work - there's many companies that offer this, such as ski resorts, farms, and holiday resorts. If it's more cheap travel you're looking for, you could also look into volunteer schemes. There are many schemes that offer food and accommodation in return for a few hours of work per day. Another option is to just find easy jobs, work for a few months, then travel off of the money you've earnt (delivering parcels, supermarket, coffee shops, etc.).

I hope this helps and enjoy your travels!
