The midlife ‘gap year’: ‘How you can get the most value out of the short time you have’
Some time during this, I joked to Mark that what we were doing was probably best described as a “midlife gap year”. But actually, the midlife gap year is already a thing. So why not celebrate the shift with a midlife gap year? If this is all my midlife gap year – or two – manages to achieve, it will have been worth it. This affords them a lot of freedom, they acknowledge, but Bart points out that some countries are affordable for anyone considering a midlife gap year.
