Young women are more adventurous than young men when travelling abroad in gap years. One in three female backpackers visits more than three countries during a year out and travels alone, according to new research.

By contrast, the majority of their male counterparts visit only one country and tend to travel in groups, says a survey by the Gap Year company, which provides information and services for students considering taking a year out.

More women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off  is to see the world and

experience different cultures. Men were more likely to rank “having fun” higher on their list of preferences.

Women were more likely to value the challenge of a foreign trip, and many cited(说，引用) reasons such as

learning a language and meeting new people.

The more adventurous gap years taken by women seem to work to their benefit; more than three quarters of those surveyed reported increased confidence, selfreliance and independence, whereas(然而)

only half of the men had that experience.

The research also showed that women were more likely to do voluntary work while travelling, with more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projects. One of the reasons given for this is a wish to see the country in an authentic light.

A greater proportion (比例) of women than men faced objections or criticism from their families over

their gapyear plans. Among the men surveyed, lack of money was the main barrier to travel.

Carolyn Martin, a doctor from London, was a typically confident female traveller. Starting in Cape Town, she travelled around southern Africa and Australia with a string of unusual and sometimes dangerous jobs.

“I had one job chasing elephants off the runway in Africa by banging a stick against a pan，” she

recalled. “It was OK but one day I did get chased by one.”

在空档年出国旅行时，年轻女性比年轻男性更有冒险精神。最新研究显示，三分之一的女性背包客在一年中会访问三个以上的国家，并独自旅行。

Gap Year公司的一项调查显示，相比之下，大多数男性同行只访问一个国家，并倾向于结伴旅行。Gap Years公司为考虑休学一年的学生提供信息和服务。

更多的女性表示，她们休假的主要原因是为了看看世界

体验不同的文化。男性更倾向于在他们的偏好列表中把“玩得开心”排得更高。

女性更有可能重视国外旅行的挑战，许多人引用了(说，引用) 原因如下

学习一门语言并结识新朋友。

女性更具冒险精神的空档年似乎对她们有利；超过四分之三的受访者表示信心、自力更生和独立性有所增强，而(然而)

只有一半的男性有这种经历。

研究还表明，女性更有可能在旅行时从事志愿工作，超过十分之一的人帮助教学或发展项目。这样做的原因之一是希望以真实的眼光看待这个国家。

更大比例(比例) 女性比男性面临家人的反对或批评

他们的跨年计划。在接受调查的男性中，缺少钱是旅行的主要障碍。

来自伦敦的医生Carolyn Martin是一位典型的自信女性旅行者。从开普敦开始，她带着一系列不同寻常、有时甚至危险的工作环游了南部非洲和澳大利亚。

她说：“我有一份工作是在非洲的跑道上用棍子敲打平底锅，把大象赶下跑道。”

召回。“还好，但有一天我确实被一个追了。”
