What would be better for a gap year


What would be better for a gap year?
Okay, so next year or the year after i want to take a gap year. I have no idea what i want to do but i do have a few ideas, out of these what do you think is the best? * a winter season in a ski resort working as a nanny or child care helper * working in a nursery in monaco? * touring Australia or *Camp America? What do you think and why??? Thanks :)

camp america my friend went and she said it was AMAZING holiday resort work is hard, and you don't get much money to do anything, and you have to take/hire your own equipment if you want to ski/snowboard, and most of the people there just spend their free time drinking too much.. though if that's what you want it can be pretty fun. monaco is nice but everything is really expensive there touring australia would be really fun but it'd cost a lot, and you'd have to persuade people to go with you as it's not the best idea to do it alone.

Be a nanny or au pair in London or Paris for the fall, do a winter season as a chalet helper in France, Austria or Switzerland, then go and tour Australia late spring and early summer, maybe scuba diving between Cairns and Sydney. Why? You will go to one of the world's coolest city and not have to pay to stay, you can learn how to ski/board really well, you'll get to visit a continent you will probably never have the vacation time to visit again - and Oz is really cool, especially Sydney - and you will see the world and get to see things from a new perspective, maybe learn a language and have picked up a few friends and life skills along the way.
