Hello, We are Xtreme Gap Year, an exciting travel company set up

Debby Neekens to help people get the most out of their travels.

You can read all about us, as a company, as individuals and what

on earth we do here.

other country and might be wondering what to do and where,

and who with, and whether you need that many pairs of under-

pants. All the important burning travelling questions! Well we

are here to help inspire you to do something really special during

your time away.

That is exactly what we do at the core of Xtreme Gap, we send you off to do something amazing

in really cool places.

wildlife experience, Martial Arts and developing their fitness or just pure travel combining every-

thing, from worried about travelling alone group travel experiences, where we take care of every-

thing for you, to really exciting Adrenaline Travel Tours.

We don´t just promote adrenaline stuff though: many people book round the world trips with us,

combining work and travel (from helping you find work in Australia to getting you qualified to

teach as a Scuba Instructor or Surf Instructor.)

here, we only want you to experience trips that will benefit you personally.

Learning the lingo on your travels can form the

basis of an incredible adventure. Looks great

on your CV, being great at a second language

it is a genuinely useful skill to have and what

could be better than hanging out and soaking

up the atmosphere in cool cities like Buenos

Aires, Argentina or Quito & Cuenca in Ecua-

dor?

Then there is probably the biggest adventure

of them all, the Venezuela Travelling Class-

room in the Amazon and Caribbean!

Or kill 2 birds with one stone, and study Span-

ish and become a gnarly surfer training with

members of Ecuador's national surf team in

Montanita! Now that is Xtreme Gap style.

Adding Extra Option Weeks Most people choose one option to complete on their second week, however if you wish to do more than one

you can do this in your third week (add €325 or £325 to the trip price). Please note sometimes adding an

extra option might mean you miss out on the fullmoon party although it usually falls on the 4th week of the

trip.

You always get 2 weeks in Koh Tao - so if you choose an extra option week, your trip will be 5 weeks in

total.

What could be better than learning to dive in the Caribbean, sur-
