Quest Overseas: Gap Year Travel

Quest's 3-month gap trips to Africa and Latin America combine project volunteering and an adventure expedition. In Latin America participants get an additional language phase at the beginning of their trip. 3-month gap trips include conservation work as well as community development. Shorter marine conservation projects are also available and have a stronger focus on marine work. Tailor-made group trips are also available for companies, organizations, colleges and universities that are looking to send a group of people away. These are organized individually by contacting Quest.
