I'm 25 and have been taking the past year off to travel. Currently traveling New Zealand and looking to maybe find work in Queenstown at the end of March.

I did Europe for about 3 months from August - October, solo with a big backpack :) You can read more about it here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/caroline-burns/tips-for-traveling-solo_b_8303000.html

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydived in Cairns, Australia and nearly didn't make it because my parachute didn't open correctly! Thankfully, was with a skilled instructor who cut us loose and pulled the reserve parachute - I don't know who was more freaked out between the two of us. What a rush!
