Introduction

...NEW FEATURE! ...NEW FEATURE! ...NEW FEATURE! ...NEW FEATURE!

This new section of our website is being launched to allow all travellers to share their experiences with us and other visitors to our website. The success of this section relies heavily on your contributions that will warn, inform and inspire fellow travellers.

We welcome contributions of any length as we start the process of building our database of your travel stories, for the benefit of the travelling community as a whole.

Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop (GYITSA) is based on our own travel experiences and the experiences of those we have learned from.

For this reason we welcome contributions from anyone who has travelled anywhere in the world and who wishes to share their experiences with us and other travellers. This forum is open to anyone who wishes to contribute.

As experienced travellers we know that many of our best experiences have come following chance meetings with fellow travellers and by listening to their stories. If you recognise this scenario, here is your chance to return the favour.

We welcome contributions in any format. We will convert them to PDF and post them on our website.

What you contribute is up to you and can be on any relevant subject. Your stories might include:

Travel is about sharing experiences, with your companions and with people you meet along the way.
