You just need to be brave enough to take that first step – and trust us to take care of the rest… In return, you’ll meet like-minded solo travelers and make amazing new friendships along the way (80% of Flashpackers keep in touch).

Why choose Flash Pack for your first group solo travel adventure?

Back in 2014, our co-founder and keen traveler, Radha Vyas, spotted a gap in the group-tour market for people in their 30s, 40s and 50s. So, she set up Flash Pack to deliver immersive, experience-led group adventures for like-minded people at the same life stage. The vast majority of Flashpackers (98%, in fact) arrive alone, before traveling together – and leave having made a whole bunch of new friends.

What’s the difference between Flash Pack’s different travel styles?

All our adventures are friendship-focused, with immersive activities, hand-picked accommodation and experienced local guides… but which trip style will you choose?

Classic : The perfect mix of adventure and comfort in some of the world’s top destinations. These trips are active and fast-paced with internal flights, excursions and most meals included.

Balanced: Even more affordable, slower-paced itineraries with more free time, minimal physical challenge and no internal flights. Fewer excursions and meals out but no compromise on quality.
