Time off is a process. To begin the process you need to sit back and imagine yourself doing things you'd really love to do, in places you've always wanted to go. Whether you hope to take time out of the classroom for a new kind of learning, are looking to clarify goals, want an experience that will help you make choices about your field of study, desire a competitive edge in today's job market, or just need a break, time off can change your life.
  • Our Database
    Our database has information on thousands of different time off opportunities. They range from language programs to outdoor education, from internships in New York City to trips to Tibet. Our database is incredibly easy to search. You can use your age, your budget, where you want to go and what experiences you want to have.

  • Our Support
    As good as our database is, there will be questions that it can't answer. That's where the support staff comes in. With your membership you have the option of phone consultations (for an additional fee). We can figure out how to put three very different programs together in a way that makes sense. Or, we can suggest programs or types of programs that you may have never known existed.

  • Our Experience
    Finally you should work with us because it means working with the best. Bob Gilpin, our founder, is the preeminent figure in time off counseling. All of our staff has experience in the field including time spent traveling to and working with some of the programs in the database.
