So basically, in 2 years, I want to do a gap year of travels after college (aged 18). I have begun earning and saving money for this. But I was just wondering how you guys broke the news to your parents that you want to do a gap year?
My parents will no doubt be supportive as it's a nice break before I head to uni. But I am the youngest of 3 children so it may be difficult for my mum especially to go from seeing me everyday to not seeing me for like 3 months (as I want to do Camp America).
What are your guys' experiences? Thanks
I'm also planning on doing a gap year and travelling solo in a couple years. I have told my parents about it but I think that they are just humouring me and don't think I will actually do it (even though I most definitely am). I think that I'm going to just try and convince my parents over the next while and to be honest I don't think I'd really let them stop me but I really want their approval. What always works with my parents is to write a persuasive letter to them and make sure they know just how important it is to me. I would also make sure to plan as much as I can to show them that I can handle it.
