Average Rating:
 Rating: - inspirationalwhen I picked up Tom Griffith's book, i knew that i wanted to take a gap year but I did not know what I wanted to do. This book is my bible to getting myself organised and most importantly for inspiring to make the most of my gap year. The style in which he writes is conversational and this is encouraging especially as I was scared about making the first step. He makes it all seem ao easy and it is!!! I cannot praise it enough. Every gap year student wanting to travel should read this book! |
