The best thing I ever did was to choose a GAP New Zealand schools placement as the focus for my year out. I have just spent the most amazing 12 months of my life working in a girls' school in Marlborough, South Island. I have met some really amazing people, who have exposed me to more cultures within this wonderful country than I ever could have imagined.
I have grown up very quickly, while travelling independently and meeting other backpackers from all over the world. Choosing to take a year out has been a fantastic adventure; it has confirmed my passion for teaching, taught me skills for life and allowed me to make some amazing friendships.
