Checklist for your Gap Year

Before you leave the country to start bulking up that resume of yours, make sure you...

buy travel insurance:

Yes, we know thinking about travel insurance is about as exciting as watching paint dry. But seriously, for as little as $1.58 per day you can save yourself, your luggage and your holiday plans a whole lotta drama. Get a quote or buy your travel insurance here online:



Grab a discount card:

The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) was recently described as the “Elvis of discount cards” – recognised around the world and imitated everywhere! We’re talking 40,000 discounts across 118 countries. You can pick one up for only $18 at STA Travel (we’re the only travel agent who has them!) We also sell Youth (under 26) and Teacher discount cards. Buy your discount card right here online for $18:



Set up a travel blog:

Sending group emails is so 2002... Get famous, at least with your mum and dad, by setting up a free travel blog at STA Travel! You can upload text, photos, videos, comments and map out your trip using Google Maps. Hit http://blogs.statravel.com.au to create your blog online now.

Save the environment:

STA Travel was the first Australian travel agent to “go green” and give you the opportunity to purchase carbon offsets – to help neutralise the greenhouse gasses caused by your flights. Check out more information on carbon credits below.



Set up some arrival accommodation:

While dealing with a crowd of pushy taxi drivers at an Uzbekistan airport can be character-building, it’s kinda comforting when there’s a car waiting to take you to your pre-booked accommodation. Book hostels and hotel accommodation right here online from a tiny $9 a night!
