Billie PiperBillie Piper is planning to have a gap year from her acting career to go travelling.

Speaking to OK magazine, she revealed: “I’d like to travel. I’ve done a bit but I want to explore India and Africa and have a proper experience. I don’t just want to go for ten days, I want to go for three weeks or a month and just live it and experience it all.”

“I don’t see the point in going to these incredible places and then staying in luxury hotels with air-con and room service. I really want to get to the heart of it all and slum around which will be so much more fun.”

“I definitely need a couple of months off which I’m looking forward to. I want to allocate a considerable amount of time to travelling and then come back and hopefully get a job.”
