WHAT TO EXPECT
Travel can be one of the most exciting and life-shaping experiences available. It can also feel like stepping off a cliff—thrilling, but seriously overwhelming. Whether you're gearing up for a full gap year or just testing the waters with a shorter adventure, you deserve a solid launch.
Sure, there are plenty of YouTube videos, books, IG reels and blog posts with travel tips. But nothing compares to learning directly from real humans—seasoned travelers who’ve been there, done that, and are ready to guide you, step by step. We’re not just handing you a checklist—we’re showing you how to use it.
At Gap Year Basecamp in Seville, you’ll do more than learn about travel. You’ll stay in a lively European hostel in an amazing European city, (we guarantee Seville will WOW you!) explore nearby areas, and navigate real-life situations with real support. You’ll gain safety skills, practical skills and street smarts, ask questions, reflect, try new things—and start to build the kind of confidence that only comes from experience.
By the time we wrap, you’ll walk away with a Eurail pass in your pocket, a plan for what’s next, and a crew of new friends who get it. This is where your adventure truly begins.
We call it Basecamp because every great expedition starts with one.
Here's how it works! We will meet in Seville for 10 days of extensive and FUN travel training! Things like:
And on the 10th day you will depart Seville with your eurail pass, your new friends, and a plan. Things like:
