Communications Print E-mail

 

Keeping in touch with your friends, family and fellow travellers on gap year travel is easier nowadays than ever before.  Communication by letter has now been greatly enhanced by: 

 

The Internet/email

 

Mobile phones

  • some people would never take one! 
  • they are useful in an emergency 
  • buy a local sim card
  • buy a sim card before you go eg through www.worldsim.com

 

Normal phones

  • think about pre-paid phonecards
  • look at charge cards eg www.ekit.com 

 

Web journals 

An interactive online journal which allows you to write a diary, upload photos and voice messages, maps your journey, sends safety alerts etc can keep you in touch with friends, families and colleagues as you travel the world.  See:
