In many countries, gap year is a rite of passage for young people. It provides an opportunity for them to take a year out before entering the gates of university. It's a time to be spontaneous, unchain yourself from classrooms, try things you normally wouldn't, see places and experience different cultures. Besides these, you can do many things to make the most out of this yearlong freedom:

1. Travel. The world is your oyster, and your gap year is the perfect time to explore what it has to offer. Unlike family breaks during summer, this could be your first taste of unfettered travel. Whether you seek life-enhancing experiences or simply want to unwind in beautiful destinations, travelling a great option.

Here are some travel agencies and sites to help you with your travel needs:

If you're not sure where to go, look at a map - there are so many places waiting to be discovered. Plan a route for your journey, book a one-way ticket out of your country and then buy subsequent flights later. During your first few days of travelling, have some nights booked in a boutique hotel like Casabela in Goa and take advantage of their lavish amenities, stay in a luxurious hotel like Siri Sathorn in Bangkok and enjoy their natural spa, or spend days at the Banyan luxury resorts in Thailand and enjoy the greens. By doing this, you can pamper yourself and revitalise your energy before taking on the adventure you planned.

Be flexible with your itinerary. If you hear of an interesting attraction in a particular place, decide to stay longer or leave more quickly than planned. If you have any underlying health condition that might prevent you from enjoying your travel experience, make sure to shop for medical travel insurance. You can compare quotes at sites like medical travel compared.

Now, if you're wondering who will pay all that, well, the answer is you. So, before you get carried away with the exhilarating sense of freedom and the excitement of going away, make sure to budget for your gap year travel. Preparation is key to a fun, plain sailing holiday.

2. Take up constructive pursuits to beef up your CV. This could be anything from getting a part-time job to gaining supplementary education or taking related training courses.

2. Take up a new hobby. Whether you simply want to take a leisure break from school or to learn new skills, trying out a new pastime activity is a great way to keep yourself busy during your gap year. You can take up more than one hobby or gain other positive experiences to make your respite more meaningful.

3. Take a beauty rest. The demands of school can take a toll on your skin and body. That said, take some time off your gap year to revitalise and get back into shape. Without deadlines to catch up on, late-night cramming for exams and extracurricular activities on your way, you now have every opportunity to try out the new beauty products or treatments you've been meaning to try but didn't have the time to. You can start by discovering the skin healing and boosting benefits of natural cosmetics from Beautorium, and then try the innovative cosmetic treatments at Surgical Bliss.

Your gap year won't last forever, so make the most of it while it lasts.
