What is Gapper?
As the name implies, Gapper comes from a term that has gradually become popular in recent two years-gapyear. Gap year is emerging in the west. It is a long-term trip for young people in western countries before going to school or after graduation and before going to work, so that students can experience a lifestyle different from their own social environment before entering the society. During this period, students leave their own countries to travel, and usually do some professional-related work or volunteer work for some non-governmental organizations. This can cultivate students' international outlook and positive attitude towards life, learn survival skills and enhance students' self-awareness, so as to find the job they really want or find a better job and better integrate into society. Gapper is a gap year person. The purpose of the gap year is 1. Broadening one's horizons and enriching the gap year can broaden one's horizons, understand the cultures of different places, learn more extracurricular knowledge, reshape one's world view and help one observe the world from multiple angles. 3. Set goals Some students regard the gap year as a trip, a journey of exploration and a journey of discovery. Find your real interest in the next year's travel, and then go back to campus to pursue new interests. Gap year experience mode 1. Changing work for accommodation is a wandering mode suitable for gap year travelers. Douban, Tianya and other online communities have corresponding invitation posts, and youth hostels all over the country have such projects. You can work in youth hostels all over the country, and then exchange free accommodation and labor for a basic life, which is fair and cheap. Stay in one place for a while, and then you can move to the next destination, which is quite free. Another emerging trend is to participate in global education, including language teaching, local family life, cultural exchange, community service and independent learning. 2. Volunteer service is the choice of many "gap year" vagrants, and it is a way to experience the world and help others. Generally speaking, volunteers need to pay their own round-trip transportation and living expenses, but accommodation and catering are organized by volunteers to help find a relatively cheap and safe environment, and they can travel to local places where they participate in volunteer work in their spare time. 3. Renting a house is suitable for people with a certain economic foundation. Although I just graduated from college, I don't have much money, but the money I earned from working and the living expenses I saved from home are enough as the start-up funds for "gap year" wandering. The "gap year" of wandering can be aimless at first, just moving in a general direction, but it is very likely that when you arrive at a place and find yourself in love with it, you don't want to leave for the time being, so you rent a house and live a local life. There are some single apartments or houses in short rent in many places, so you can choose according to your financial ability. Because I have a certain amount of money, I don't have to worry about my life for the time being. I wander around this place every day, chatting with local people, tasting local food and watching local scenery. This kind of harvest may be more than wandering on the road all the time.
