Some students spend time travelling. Others spend their time working, and many combine
these into an international working holiday. A popular option for gap
year students, also known as "gappers," is
international volunteering. In the wake of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, a big
number of the volunteers who helped in South Asia were on a gap year.

Also, many gap
year students earn money while overseas by working cash in hand,
often in the hospitality industry. Another growing trend for gappers is to
enroll in global education programs that combine language study, home stays,
cultural immersion, community service, and independent study. Such experiential
opportunities exist in countries ranging from India to China and Morocco to Brazil.
