I took a year off between school and university to travel. I ended up taking several more 'years off ' after leaving university to travel and work abroad, culminating in starting work as a trainee travel consultant in the late 1980's. As soon as I started this job, all of my anxiety about career direction evaporated as I realised that it was possible to work in an industry that I was passionate about. There is more about my background and the Travel Nation story here.
