When The Travel Intern started in 2016, we had the goal of building a community of like-minded travellers. Our dream was to create a safe space for all to gather, share stories, and talk about all-things travel!

Upcoming Events
Our next TTIF community event — Should I Take a Gap Year to Travel?
The real cost, chaos, and magic of taking time off to see the world.
Date: 24 July 2026, Friday
Topic: Should I Take a Gap Year to Travel?
Hey everyone! We’re giving our next TTIF session a makeover with a new date and a fresh topic angle.
We realised our previous theme (“Workaways and Travel Exchanges”) might have felt a bit unfamiliar. We’ve hence broadened the discussion to the ultimate question: Should I take a gap year to travel? The real cost, chaos, and magic of taking time off to see the world.
If you want to find out how you can see the world before committing to the 9-5, or simply travel deeply and purposefully on a budget, this session is for you. We’re unpacking the unfiltered side of hitting pause, to explore the idea of experiencing and gaining more of what the world offers while on a school or career break.
For the next community gathering, we’re unpacking the real, unfiltered side of taking gap years to travel! Whether you are planning a career break, stretching a gap-year budget, or looking for genuine cultural immersion, join us for tips and stories from community members who have done it.
This community event is free, just RSVP your interest here!
Call for Speakers! Join us and share your experience
Hey community! If you’ve done gap-year travel, traded your skills to see the world, or prioritised your curiosity to check off different destinations on the map, we want you as a speaker! Whether it was a workaway or a pause in your personal schedule to go on a round-the-world adventure, we’d love to hear your reflections and the unique angle of your experience.
What we’re looking for:
– Speakers who can share their personal journey, the logistics of how they pulled it off, and their honest takeaways of taking a gap year or semester off to travel.
– Fresh angles on working holidays, gap year travels, or even budget-stretching hacks.
If you’d love to share your story and inspire the community as a speaker, do submit your interest via this form as well! ✈️
