Podcast | How to plan for a gap year or career break? Julia Rogers | EnRoute Consulting
Have you ever felt like escaping the rat race and travelling the world? Seeking impact, adventure and new experiences? Perhaps volunteering for nature conservation organisations, and setting yourself for a career change or education when you return?
But with the world as your playground … where do you start? How do you plan such a trip to ensure your time and money are well spent?
Today we’re speaking with Julia Rogers founder of EnRoute Consulting. As a professional gap year counsellor – a new job title to me – Julia prides herself in understanding the complicated process of planning a meaningful experience whilst travelling.
During this episode, we discuss the value a gap year or career break can bring to people in their work, education and lives. We talk about the different types of experiences people can discover, and how to plan for a successful trip. Finally, we also chat about how a Gap Year Counsellor can help if you need support.
It’s a globe-trotting, experience-seeking, life-changing episode. Enjoy!
