Vacation Work is now an imprint of Crimson Publishing and is by a long way the leading publisher of books about gap years.
Over the past 30 years Vacation Work has put time and energy into building up an unmatched range of books for anyone looking for short or long-term travel or work overseas. Renowned for the quality and depth of content, the range includes Gap Years for Grownups and the unrivalled Work Your Way Around the World, now on its 13th edition.
Charles James founded Vacation Work in Oxford in 1967; his passion lay with the gap year space, and to mark his retirement, we are launching the first major new book in this sector in over five years: Hands-on Holidays – the essential guide to short-term breaks that really make a difference. In addition, all new editions are being updated and enhanced with more imagery, modern layout and design.
Vacation Work will continue to help tens of thousands of adventurers every year find jobs and careers around the world.
