One of the main benefits travelling around the world for a year can definitely broaden
their horizons. What I mean by this they can learn a new language, meet new people
with different backgrounds and an opportunity to get to know a new culture.
Secondly, taking a gap year provides practical experiences, young people can learn
more about themselves, it gives time to think about their profession.
Turning the other side of the argument, they may experience language problems and
learning a new language can be tougher than they thought.
Another issue is the experience of the culture shock and the feeling of loneliness.
Making and developing new friendships takes time and it can be more difficult in a
culture that they are not used to.
All things considered, having a year off after graduating is not a wrong decision.
Despite all disadvantages, I believe it has more advantages for the young generation.
They can gain some great experiences and enjoy life before starting work.
