Of course it's daddy sponsored. Can't you tell from the people you met? It's not called gap yahh for nothing.

This one thing I never got about you UK lot is how the fuck do you all go travelling? Like seriously met so many people, girls mostly, who were all like "yeah I went travelling for a year", fuck's sake is it all daddy sponsored or what? Everytime I stayed abroad for more than a few weeks it's because I was working there full time.

I spent some time at a public school, so I know a fair few people that have had silver-spoon opportunities, and I've had a few myself. But the vast majority of the people I've met since then, a number of which have been travelling far and wide, have done it through hard work and persistence, saving money by working several jobs and sacrificing their social lives and recreation for a couple of years. It ain't impossible, but living the lifestyle of a drug user is not conducive to saving cash, as we all know very well.

6 day weeks, 9-6 for much of the summer. You can still have a bit of a social life it just has to be well planned. Certainly helps when you can choose which day you want off each week tho!

im sure leaving university, embarking on a gap-jaunt and funding a whole new period of higher education is a a lovely way of going about it, alas.. some people actually have to fund their own existence though life. absolutely barbaric, i know

Just for the record. I got two jobs and saved myself. Went travelling for 6 months. I paid my entire way through uni. Is that really out of the realms of possibility?
