(we don't really have a gap year culture here, as the general mindset is that any time not spent working or in school is wasted, and all too many American women would find the idea of traveling to a foreign country alone simply unthinkable).
That is a pity.
I'm curious about the American women finding the idea of traveling abroad unthinkable - is that because the US is such a big country that you can get to all kinds of places without needing a passport, or is it another kind of mindset?
