“The worst thing you can do with summer is waste it. You certainly don’t want to be stuck at home when all your friends are off on adventures of their own. And before you know it you’ll be back to the grindstone wishing you’d spent your time more wisely.

Instead of twiddling your thumbs alone in the pub garden, come away with Work the World for the experience of a lifetime. Travel to the most exotic reaches of the planet, get ahead of your peers with life-changing experiences in your chosen medical field, and get to know the most charming people you’ll ever meet.

But you’ll have to get in quick — the remaining spaces won’t be around forever!

Kathmandu

In the heart of the Himalayan mountains this ancient city swarms with life both day and night. The temples have an aura of spirituality while the narrow streets are loud with all things modern. Take a trip into the mountains where you can paraglide through the peaks before camping out under an unblemished canopy of stars.

There are stunning temples, too. The traditions of the Nepalese people are deeply spiritual, and whether you’re Hindu or Buddhist (or anything else for that matter), you’ll find solace here. A visit to the much revered child goddess at Kumari Chowk temple never fails to impress. Nor does the epic Boudhanath Stupa — one of the largest in the world.”
