iGap Travel Guide | Europe
22
Travellers will have endless opportunities to make
friends with people from all around the world,
perhaps even working in hostels in return for free
food, beer and board along the way. The continent
is a melting pot of native and international culture,
brimming with an abundance of like-minded
travellers who are also seeking their own dream
European experience – all uniting with completely
diverse journeys. Europe boasts some of the world’s
most exciting cities and bustling food scenes, so take
your pick from trying mouth-watering pizza in its
Neapolitan birthplace to tasting tapas and paellas
in Barcelona’s mosaic-lined public parks. No matter
what or where tickles your fancy in Europe, you can
hop around to fulfil your heart’s content and your
travel experience here will always be historically
richer and more culturally diverse than any other
you’d be likely to have elsewhere.
Whichever colourful countries and exclusive cities
you decide to explore, you’ll learn valuable inter-
cultural skills along the way and experience world-
leading languages in their native lands. You’ll also
have opportunities to follow in the footsteps of
some of the world’s most important and influential
figures, absorbing shards of the very history that has
shaped our modern life as we know it. See where
Socrates once expounded his philosophy in the
Ancient Athenian Agora, marvel at Michelangelo’s
Sistine Chapel in Rome, or Marie Antoinette’s French
Revolution cell at the Parisian La Conciergerie.
Historical heritage and pulsating modernism fuse
into one on the globe’s most manageable and diverse
continent: the ultimate gap year destination. With
ever-expanding transport and trendsetting hostels
popping up all over, there’s never been a better time to
be a little different, and start travelling European-style.
