We could always look to nature for something like this… “Sea Turtles” always goes back to the same beach for family reasons – though I question how “glamorous” the name is. Migration Backpackers maybe? Slingshot Vagabond? Boomerang Nomad?

I can’t claim I’ve been a career break traveller or a gap year traveller although I did work in my gap year in France and Hong Kong – I’d have felt a bit scared in those days to set off on a round the world trip. Now I’m just the kind of traveller that works and does family stuff and goes on holidays in between – can we think up a glamourous name for people like me?

Like Sherry, I left my career to travel and never looked back. The idea of returning to the corporate world is anathema to me. No way I could tolerate it. I really admire those who go right back into corporate life. But whether folks go back to their careers or follow other paths, I really feel that a career break to travel is a very valuable experience that can have life changing results on many levels, in a good way.

It’s great that North Americans are beginning to see the value in gap year programs!

Stephanie and Sherry – Where did you travel to for you gap year? Are you interested in sharing your experience with other women?

It would be great if you could post about your travels, providing anecdotes and photos from your time abroad on Pinkpangea.com. You might also want to provide tips for women travelers who also want to get out there.

I look forward to hearing more about your experiences abroad!

Hope to hear from you soon,

Jackie
