 Rating:  - More Education GapsGreat fun to read, and studded with first-person "how I did it" notes from, I presume, Real Students. Once again, the English viewpoint, but still with lists, accounts and ideas that would be useful to U.S. students thinking of engineering an educational year on the lam from college. Rating:  - DREAM WITH ITI am a traveler. I never took a "gap year" but during my backpacking trips I met a lot of "gappers" ... and I have to say that this book (which was a gift) is making me dream to take a GAP YEAR ... and on top of that there are really a lot of very good practical tips. Bottom line ... if you like to backpack ... read this book ... it will make you dream even if you are in a basement w/o windows of KANSAS CITY ... :D
