The Objective Gap Year Travel and Safety Course launched in 2002 and quickly established itself as an extremely useful course for the inexperienced young traveller, whether they are backpacking in South East Asia, Africa or Australia, or Interrailing around Europe. It's all about thinking safe and being aware of the different conditions that might be faced whilst travelling or backpacking abroad. We generally find that with a little bit of thought and planning, most potential dangers can be avoided.

COVID-19

South East Asia is most likely to open to tourism first but probably not until early 2021. Latin America has been hit hard and travel to the region is unlikely to resume for the foreseeable future. Africa is still seeing an increase in cases.
