How can we help...?

Get some clarity here….

• The Career Break Guru is an expert consultation and advice service for grown up gappers.

 

• Through questionnaires, workshops and consultations we empower you to choose and plan your perfect gap year, and help you avoid the possible frustrations and confusion of not knowing what to do, and the financial costs of getting it wrong.

 

• In addition to our workshops and consultations we also provide regular phone and web advice, support, guidance and information – working with you throughout the planning and booking process.

 

• We can also provide phone and web support while you are away, researching and advising on changes to travel plans, concerns and even just sharing stories, experiences and photos.

 

Who do we work with...?

 

• Our clients are aged between 30 and 70, and are looking to make a change in their lives, usually by going abroad to travel, volunteer or both.

• You might have recently separated from a long term spouse or partner; been made redundant; come into some inheritance or seen your children move out of home. It could be anything – but the key is that there is a need in you to get away, break away, spread your wings, to try new things - in short, to LIVE LIFE.

 

• The point is that you’ve reached the same place as a number of the people we've worked with - a sort of 'gap' as it were, between the past and what's to come in the future. Travel is so often a way to bridge that gap, and find new experiences - to do those things that you've always wanted. 

 

• Despite this need to get away and explore the world there are likely to be a number of things stopping you – finances; career; family and children; parents; pets; fear; money; mortgage; uncertainty; lack of information; feeling overwhelmed by choice; a belief that you don’t deserve something this wonderful.

 

• You're probably confused, unsure, worried, overwhelmed and anxious. What you really need is someone who will listen to you and help you get some clarity out of your confusion.

o Support and encouragement to take those first steps and beat the fear they might feel.

o Practical advice about the financial and logistical aspects of leaving home for several months.

o Empowerment to realise their dreams and work through the barriers that are stopping them.

o Independent and impartial advice about what there is out there and what choices are available to them.

o An exciting and encouraging environment to explore their dreams, plans and unfulfilled hopes. 

o Suggestions and ideas of things they could do and places they could go.

o In-depth research and analysis about the best options for them

o A space to really explore who they are, and what they are searching for in this point in life.
