Im an au pair in Austria this year for my gap year. It's a nice set up if you dont have the money to just travel for a year or whatever. You have a place to stay, salary, tons of free time, lots of travelling, and just have to look after kids. For me its been awesome so far, let me know if you have any questions!

what year are you? if you're in college there are study abroad opportunities that will send you to many different places for the whole year to do volunteer work and learn at the same time. I have a friend who's in Ecuador with U of M and he loves it.

I was going to suggest this! Seems like a really cool way to see a different part of the world. Definitely check it out OP.
Its completely legit, these people run small farms and need help throughout the season. There are opportunities everywhere from Vancouver Island to Britain.

Find a girl, move to somewhere in BC and buy or build a cabin, rent or buy 2 sleds, have some homies there on and off for the course of around 4 months, shred EVERYDAY.
rent a place on the beach somewhere tropical, head there for around 4 months with the girl, learn to surf, chill all the time.
move to barcelona, rent a place for the final 4 months and live there with the girl.

What the hell does that have to do with taking a year off from school?
Nothing.
OP
Just go do whatever you like. At the same time you might never want to go back. If you like hiking go on a mountain adventure, if you like skiing ski everyday and take trips to somewhere ridiculous, idk do the cool shit you want to do but never have time. Basically live while you're still young enough to do some of the shit.

Do what I did, work half the year in a shitty, incredibly hard manual labor job which pays incredibly well (for me I was a plumbers laborer, $80 hour) then travel for rest of year to incredible, rich places living like a boss. I'm in whistler right now, spent a ski season split in Chile/Argentina and NZ, next stop Japan. Life is fabulous

No one in there right mind wants to be on a shovel all day digging trenches in the stinking hot western aus sun, it is fucked to say the least. You are positioned legit in a desert. This is not dosmetic plumbing for households, this is major drainage lines for mines. Fully qualified plumbers make easy 250k a year. Trust me brother, it's high paid because no one wants to do it.
its not, ive just been digging a trench in some old couples backyard because the idiots didnt put a sock over the ag line so their backyard is sinking. its the shittest work ive ever done. and we've just had two 45º C days here in sydney. had to do it manually with a mate with shovels.got about 250 a day and it was horrible.
