Gap Year
Gap years aren't just about finding yourself. They're about losing track of the days and realising that life exists outside your lecture timetable. Whether you're backpacking around Thailand, road-tripping in New Zealand or ticking off your dream destinations one country at a time, this is your chance to learn new skills, meet people from across the globe, and collect experiences that are way better than anything on your CV.
Sustainable Travel
Better for the planet. Better stories to tell when you're back home.
More students are swapping overcrowded hotspots for under-the-radar gems, taking scenic rail journeys, and choosing experiences that support local communities. Think cooking classes with locals, conservation tours, and finding destinations your “For You Page” hasn't ruined yet. And the best part? All of these holidays do their part for the planet.
Working Travel
Imagine swapping rainy UK commutes for beach days, road trips, and weekend adventures. Working holidays can take you around the world, from the USA and Canada to Thailand. But it’s an Australia Working Holiday that takes our top spot. One month you could be discovering Sydney, the next learning to surf in Byron Bay, or diving the Great Barrier Reef. Because "I moved to Australia" is a pretty great answer to "what did you do after uni?"

Transcript
A normal day for me here at Molly Dooker is I get in, I get to the seller door and it's basically just meeting people, customers who come in who want to come and have an experience to taste our wines. And for me, I've got so invested in the story that they have here. So, I feel like part of the family. But just chatting to people is my favorite thing. I have a passion for wine. So, for me, talking about wine and to people is fantastic. And being exposed to the winery is for me very exciting to be able to further my career. When I first started working at Molly Dooker, I think I was overwhelmed by how supportive and friendly everyone was. It's been really special for me to meet people from Adelaide, South Australia, but also all over Australia. They've all been so welcoming. Obviously, I came here not knowing anyone else in the state, so it's been fantastic. I just remember my first day. Everyone was so kind, showing me around and they've really made me feel at home and it's been great because they've all been giving me advice on what to do with my days off, you know, we go to different wineries, we check out some of the beaches. So, it's been really great to have a a nice network of locals that I can really immerse myself into the culture. I'm Chloe Palmer. I'm from the UK and I work at Molly Dooker Winery.
