A gymnastics coach I know is off to New Zealand for a working holiday. I hooked her up with my former club in Christchurch.

Working holidays — or Gap Years — are a great idea but most people believe it impossible for them.

A new Canadian magazine called Verge has a mandate to help you find a way to go.

So you want to go abroad? Thinking about staying a while, doing something different, stepping outside your comfort zone? Want to make a difference? You’ve come to the right place.

Whether you are considering volunteering in a community, studying overseas, working your way around the world, or pushing your adrenaline limits – we have links to lots of ideas for you.

Questions? Want to know more about your possible destinations? Head to our “Ask an Expert” page. If you need advice, then let us know.
