As someone who loved my career, taking a year out to travel wasn't an obvious move. Plus, I had no idea what I’d do afterwards.

Not everything went to plan - an airline lost my luggage and I got food poisoning the same day - but it was the best year of my life.

And that gap on my CV? It wasn't the problem I thought it would be.

If you're in Toronto for the World Cup this June and wondering what to do with the rest of your time, this itinerary is for you.

I spent a week here a few years ago, staying with a friend who showed me the city’s highlights from a local’s perspective. Toronto has colourful neighbourhoods, a working waterfront, a great food scene and lively nightlife - plus Niagara Falls is only 90 minutes away.

Toronto is hosting six matches at Toronto Stadium between 12 June and 2 July 2026, starting with Canada’s first ever home World Cup game, as well as welcoming teams including Germany and Croatia.

Here are my recommendations for a 3 day Toronto itinerary including Niagara Falls (link in comments!).

Most people associate gap years with 18- to 20-year-olds exploring the world. When I took a career break in my early 30s, I worried I'd be the oldest person on the backpacker trail.

My story was recently featured in Business Insider as part of their series on people taking 'adult gap years' - a trend that's moved from niche to mainstream. It's not just for students with nothing to lose.
