To celebrate our all American week over here on the Real Gap blog, we’re going to be teaching the world about the US of A, and where better to start than LA? The home of the rich and famous, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Mickey Mouse, Los Angeles has it all and with our USA Experience you’ll be able to explore LA from top to bottom. We’ve been to LA before and we loved it, but where were the best places we visited along the way?

Best Bits

Getty Museum: The word ‘museum’ would usually bore us...

If you're a regular reader of the Real Gap blog (and if you're not, you're positively crazy...) we've been dishing out discounts galore over the last few weeks. Not only have we slashed the prices on trips to Asia and the Americas, but it's now time to add the third A to the crazy sale team- Africa!

One of our star Real Gappers, Danielle (as pictured in the photos) is an African obsessive, and for good reason too. She toured all over the continent for three months in July, and she's come back...

We like offering a discount or three here at Real Gap, so we've decided to add the Americas along to our offer-ranks. Cheers! #YOLO

Rio de Janiero’s middle name is ‘party’ (trust us- we know him well; it’s what the Brazilians do best!). Want to party away the festive season? Join our ‘Best of Argentina and Brazil’ tour and you’ll be able to conquer Rio, explore the beauty that is Brazil and tango your way along the cosmopolitan streets of Buenos Aires. Why aren't we over there again?

If like...

So, you want to work in travel? With cool, interesting, globe trotting people? Well your luck is in my friend, as we have an internship vacancy here with Real Gap/i to i! Wahay!

The lucky intern will be working around the office taking on a variety of jobs, from outbound brochure call out, to customer support to marketing. You'll become a jack of all trades, and during your time with us you'll learn absolutely tonnes on our companies, the industry, and gap year...

As a part of our Real Gap spooky spectacular, we're talking about things that have scared the pants off of us Real Gappers. In this particular chapter, we're going back to school and putting on our bilingual hats...

We all remember it well. School, lessons, taking a language. Becoming terrified of *said* language. Revising our bums off to achieve a half decent grade in *that* language. Chewing our pen lids to pieces in *those* classes. It felt difficult. We felt intimidated.

But after weeks...
