Work out a career break
budget well in advance of departure to avoid disappointment on your
travels.
Most gappers spend around £6,000 in total,
a panel of experts told the Adventure
Travel and Sports Show that took place in London on January
13th to 15th.
Though costs are higher in some countries than others,
for someone travelling to different places, day-to-day expenditure
on a career break is likely to be around £30 to £40
per day.
"The more you move round, the more you spend,"
said Paul Goodyear of Nomad
Travel Stores.
In addition to day-to-day expenses, a career break
budget should include the cost of flights, equipment, immunisations
and insurance.
Pension contributions, national insurance, and
other ongoing bills may have to be paid while you are away. It is
also important to put some money aside for when you return.
