When Tourism Australia offered to send College magazine on a 10-day taste of what a gap year could be like in two of Australia’s hottest cities on opposite coasts—Melbourne and Perth—of course we said yes. What could be better than a trip Down Under?

Edward “Bear” Grylls, the host of Discovery Channel’s Man vs. Wild, earned his fame teaching outrageous survival skills, such as taking shelter in a rotting camel to avoid a sandstorm, or perhaps drinking one’s own urine as an alternative source of hydration. All of these life-saving techniques are broadcast to a couch-ridden American and British audience daily. If you someday end up stuck in the desert, Grylls’ revolting tips may come in handy. Or you could just ask a NOLS student.
