About Us

The Gap Year Travel Store opened its (online) doors in Yorkshire in 2006 to cater for independent travellers, whether they’re taking a year out between college and university, taking a career break or even a golden gap year.

We’re the UK’s leading gap year travel gear specialist, with a focus on lightweight and compact equipment for travellers selling brands that share our ethos. From our base in Wetherby in West Yorkshire we are happy to help if you have questions about your kit. We’re passionate about travel and believe in the products we sell, with a team of travel gear experts who are always on hand to offer advice on our extensive range of travel products.

You may be reading this to find out whether you should purchase from us so I would urge you to read our independent Trustpilot reviews where as well as the positive comments about quick delivery & great prices (which many of our rivals can do) we also have feedback which outlines how we go the extra mile to help our customers out and solve any problems they face. No unhelpful chat bots or generic customer service staff here – that’s a promise!

So whether you’re not sure which backpack to buy for your gap year or need to know which plug adapter you’ll need for your chosen destination, you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.

Safe Travels,

GAP YEAR TRAVEL STORE FOUNDER
