I think its a good idea, I wasn't against any of my kids taking a year off before uni, it gave them time to relax and unwind from many years at school especially the last few years and also time to find a direction and experience other things before knuckling down to their chosen path.
I wish I had thought more about traveling when I was younger and discovering more things to help find a direction in life. :cebollita24:
Good luck to you and hope you have an enjoyable time and find the path you will enjoy :cracker:
