Hi everybody,
Was looking for some advice please! Im a 19 year old female from England and am planning my GAP year. I have my heart set on DR, I have been all round the island before, but not sure what is the best way to go about my GAP year.
I would love to work in tourism in the POP area, i know the pay is v.low so would have to save plenty before i come out. I have some girl friends in the POP/Sosua area who say they will help me find a cheap apartment. I have two options - to do this myself, or go through a volunteer organisation such as GAP or Project Trust, where I pay for food/accomodation beforehand.
I would like to hear from anyone who has experiened this, or has any suggestions, as really want to start making definate plans. I speak relatively good Spanish, and have qualifiations in travel and tourism industry.
Thank you for your help.
