Travelling Solo or as a Group
You have choices to make when planning out your healthcare placement. Which destination best suits your travel style? Which departments do you want to get experience in? How long do you want to travel for?
You can seek guidance from us on all of the above right the way through the placement planning process. You get expert advice and support as a core part of the Work the World service.
But one decision you have to make is whether you want to travel solo or as part of a group. Both have advantages, so the choice comes down to how you feel each option best suits you.
Get an experience tailored to you
If you’re thinking about travelling solo, you’re not the only one — about half of the people who travel with us choose to travel alone. The other half travel as part of a group, so it’s a near-even split.
Whichever camp you find yourself in, the beauty of doing so on a Work the World placement is that you will:
- Get comprehensive, structured support from us and our in-country teams
- Be able to spend time with your Work the World housemates when you’re feeling sociable
- Have complete freedom to focus on yourself when you need time alone
