Free 30-minute call
Let’s talk about where you’re headed
Book a free call to talk through your situation, ask questions, and find out whether a designed gap year is the right move. No pressure, no commitment — just a conversation about your options.
What to expect
30 minutes
A focused conversation, not a sales pitch. We respect your time and want to know whether this is genuinely a fit.
Video or phone
Whatever’s most comfortable. We’ll send details once you book.
Students and parents welcome
Book as a student, a parent, or a family — whatever works for your situation.
Ideal timing
Start 6–12 months before your year begins for the most options. Three months is the minimum we can work with.
We’ll cover
- Where you’re headed — university, work, a venture, or undecided
- Whether a designed gap year actually makes sense for you
- How the TakeAYear method works, end to end
- Which level of support might fit (Blueprint, Guided, or Full Support)
- Any specific questions you have about the process

Common questions
Before you book
Is this really free?
Yes. The call is completely free with no obligation. We’d rather earn your trust with something useful than with pressure.
Who will I speak with?
One of us — Max or Luke. You’ll talk to the people who’d actually design your year, not a sales rep.
What if I’m not ready to commit?
Completely fine. Plenty of people use the call just to learn more and think it through. Nothing needs deciding on the call.
Can my parents join?
Absolutely — we encourage it for the first conversation. Parents usually have questions we’re glad to answer.
What if my gap year is coming up soon?
We can work with tighter timelines (three months minimum), but earlier is better. We’ll talk through what’s realistic.
What if I need to reschedule?
No problem. Your confirmation email includes easy options to reschedule if plans change.
