Flash Pack

"As I sat on the plane home, I found myself bawling. The poor woman sitting next to me probably thought I was crazy, but it was a lot to unpack – physically, emotionally, energetically. I had just spent a perfect week with a perfect group of people, on the perfect life experience." Bethany Sorensen

The secret's finally out ?????? I've always dreamt of taking Flash Pack to the US ???? And today... We're launching our FIRST EVER America trip !! This feels extra special. Not just because it validates our expansion into the US... But also, the appetite for domestic travel. During a time when the travel industry faced unprecedented challenges: → Political tensions → Economic uncertainty → Post-pandemic caution → Rising costs of international flights Something beautiful emerged... People started discovering adventures closer to home. And after months of asking our community where to launch first, we landed on somewhere truly magical: Moab, Utah ?? Think: ? Towering red rock spires against star-studded skies ? Floating down the Colorado River past the mountains ? Capturing the Milky Way with a pro photographer ? Exploring Arches and Canyonlands National Parks ? Ending perfect days with local wine tastings Oh, and of course... What makes any Flash Pack trip extraordinary isn't just the destination. It's the group dynamic. We've nailed our algorithm so that every Flashpacker travels with like-minded people at the same life stage. Creating connections that last long after the trip. I (obviously) love all of our trips, but this one is really calling my name, what about you guys !? Explore the full itinerary & join our first US group here: https://lnkd.in/e-MFh3mJ

?? We’ve got something to shout about ?? We were named the 3rd Most Mission Driven Company by Flexa and that’s not all... Flash Pack also placed in six other categories, including Family Friendly and Most Flexible. Our mission is to create one million friendships through group adventure – and we’re proud to be recognised for how we’re doing that from the inside out. Thanks to Flexa for championing better ways of working – and to our amazing team for making it all happen. ??

Happy International Women's Day ??

When I tell people I DON’T run a travel company... They get very confused. "But you organise incredible trips, right?" Absolutely - we're experts at creating bucket list experiences. But there's something even more powerful at play. Flash Pack is a friendship company at heart. Travel is our secret weapon for accelerating the friendship-making process. We did TONS of research and discovered: Traditional friendship takes 200+ hours to form. Facetimes. Coffee dates. Weekly dinners. Sporadic meetups. Back-and-forth text exchanges. And yet... Nothing comes close to the experience of travelling together. Whether it's a weekend, 5 days or 2 weeks... The shared sense of adventures The late-night conversations The inside jokes They accelerate connection like nothing else. And you leave with a closeness you can't explain. It sounds cliche... But in a world where loneliness has become an epidemic, we're not here to just plan holidays. Anyone can do that! Our real USP? Creating meaningful human connections ?? _ ???? I'm Radha Vyas, CEO & Co-Founder of Flash Pack, connecting solo travelers on life-changing social adventures. Follow for daily posts on the journey.

This awards ceremony is an opportunity to celebrate the outstanding efforts and achievements of our incredible Pack Leaders, who lead at the helm of our adventures to ensure each and every one is a success. The ceremony will recognise excellence across ten distinct award categories, which are designed to showcase the diverse talents and contributions that make our community so exceptional.

What does friendship mean to you? ??

We’re not usually ones for peddling romance, and we’re certainly not a singles-only matchmaking service. Friendship will always be our favorite love story. ? But if we can’t shout about the “we met on a Flash Pack trip” tales around Valentines, when can we? We’ve even caught wind of five Flash Pack babies(!). Jason & Helena's story: Jason Bomgren and Helena Rose live in Watford, UK, and met on a Flash Pack trip to Mexico. Read how their relationship bloomed among ancient Mayan temples, and ended with Jason moving across the pond to start a new life with Helena.

"As a single 38-year-old Latina, solo travel felt taboo in my culture—especially since all my friends are married with kids."

"Life is too short to keep waiting." Michelle, Flashpacker
