The idea behind combo placements is pretty simple. Rather than having to choose between one thing or another or having to pay for two projects, you can choose from loads of different options that combine various popular gap year elements.

For example, there are tours that stop off so you can do some volunteering, expeditions that involve conservation along the way, you can build schools and then teach in them, or just combine volunteering with learning the language.

The options below allow you to browse projects that involve certain elements. So, if you know you want to teach, select 'Teaching Element' and see what else you can combine that with.

The slides on the right are just a few good ideas we've pulled out to give you a taster of what's on offer.
