many young people in britain have a gap year between school and university.they often spend a few months working and then use the money to travel.some of them have a working holiday ,earning money and visiting a foreing country at the same time.it's easy for young people to get jobs working in ski resorts in the winter ,or on farms ,picking fruit in the summer and autumn.
some people on a gap year do voluntary work, helping other people overseas.they have to pay for their plane tickets and they don't get money for their work,but while they are working,their food and accommodation are free.africa became a popular place for gap year students to work when britan's prince harry went there as a volunteer in 2004.he worked in lesotho with children whose parents have died.he also spent part of his gap year in australia where he worked on a farm.
