The Philippines is a country made up of over 7,000 spectacular islands in Southeast Asia. This tropical paradise is home to idyllic beaches, active volcanoes, coral reefs and rainforests full of exotic wildlife. Although slightly off the backpacking trail, the Philippines really should be included in any round the world trip or gap year itinerary.

Best Gap Year Programs in Philippines
There are so many gap year trips, courses and opportunities, these are some of the most popular things to do:
• Volunteer
• Teach English
• Intern
• Go backpacking
Doing volunteering on a gap year abroad is about getting involved in worthwhile projects in developing countries and gaining a new experience in life. We hope you will have a wonderful gap year in Asia.
If you want to go backpacking and discover the highlights there are so many wonderful things to do and places to explore. You could plan everything by yourself, or consider Philippines tours.
Be sure to check out the tiny island of Boracay, not only for its exquisite beaches but for its adrenaline-fueled activities (including kite surfing and scuba diving!) and buzzing nightlife.
It really is no wonder that so many travellers from all over the world make their way to the Philippines, once you’ve been, you’ll understand.
