The Gap Year Podcast by Kalina Elkin
Welcome to the “Gap Year Podcast by Kalina Elkin”, where other students and I will share our experiences and help others navigate their own gap year. This is all aimed to help students that are planning on/end up taking a gap year, so that they could see what this journey is all about. Topics such as Mental Health, following your passion, exploring something new, will be key topics on this Podcast, but there will be much more than that.
If you want your own Gap Year Story to be heard, you can message me on the official instagram page, or email me - kalielkin19@gmail.com
