Ticket to Ride and Natives.co.uk launch Season2Season, the ultimate gap year

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 27 June, 2008 : - - Ticket to Ride World Wide Surfing Adventures, in conjunction with Natives.co.uk, is proud to launch Season2Season – the very best action-packed and fun-filled way to spend your gap year.

Season2Season is for anyone torn between spending their gap year either doing a ski season or learning to surf. Fret no more as, thanks to Ticket to Ride and Natives, you can now do both, easily and without breaking the bank.

The concept is simple. Join Natives on one of its chalet cookery courses, pass it and you’re guaranteed a job working the winter in a ski and snowboard resort in the Alps. After completing the cookery course, go to South Africa and take part in the Ticket to Ride 10 week Instructor Course*, learning to surf with its highly qualified coaching team in some of the best surf spots in the world.

Then return to Europe to take up your position working in the stunning Alps for five months. And to continue living the dream, if you passed your instructor/lifeguard award, find work as a surf instructor through Ticket to Ride recruitment on your return. Hey presto, you’ve had the gap year of your dreams.

Added benefits include the option of doing some charity work during your time in South Africa, getting work as a surf instructor on your return to the UK (providing you successfully pass the instructor course), building a strong CV with the skills you gain working in resort and of course, the chance to have the time of your life and make lifelong friends. And all this is possible for from as little as £3200.

Ticket to Ride co-founder, Linley Lewis says: "This is your opportunity to learn to cook, learn to surf, get involved in charity work, travel to South Africa, and get qualified as a surf coach and a surf lifesaver. Then, after all that, do a full ski or snowboard season using your cooking qualifications, before returning to the UK to potentially work as a surf instructor. What better answer could you give to the question: 'What did you do on your gap year?’"

Ticket to Ride is the original surfing gap and career break organisation and Natives.co.uk is the leading snowsports website in the UK for season jobs and snowsports events, and.
