===Australia and New Zealand===
Australians and New Zealanders have a tradition of traveling overseas independently at a young age.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://auspost.com.au/travel-essentials/how-australians-travel|title=Travel trends - how Australians travel|access-date=2018-08-24|language=en}}</ref> In New Zealand, this is known as "doing an OE" ([[Overseas experience]]). Sometimes this is limited to one year, but at times Australians and New Zealanders will remain overseas for longer, many working short-term in service industry jobs to fund their travels. Europe and Asia are popular destinations for gap year travels.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.gapyear.com/articles/travel-ideas/top-10-gap-year-destinations|title=Gap Year Destinations|date=2013-07-23|work=Gap Year|access-date=2018-08-24|language=en-US|archive-date=24 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180824101812/https://www.gapyear.com/articles/travel-ideas/top-10-gap-year-destinations|url-status=dead}}</ref> In Australia, exchange programs and youth benefits provide many opportunities for young people to gain experience through travel in a gap year.
