Gap Research
Hi and welcome to my blog!
My name is Bre and I’m an Australian postgraduate student researching gap year travellers in Europe. I am currently living in France and will be based here throughout 2011 while I undertake my research.
The purpose of this blog is to collect ongoing stories of gap year travellers who participate in this research project. If you are on a break from school, university or work and intend to travel through France as part of your gap year I would love to hear from you. I am keen to find out about where you’ve been and what kind of encounters you’ve had, as well as your thoughts and feelings on the gap year experience and whether these match up to the expectations you had prior to leaving home. If you are interested in participating send me an email at: breanna.jones@students.mq.edu.au.
