Ahead of the most polarizing US election in history, people across the country are feeling more disconnected and isolated than ever before. Nearly three-quarters of Americans (73%) feel anxious about the political climate amid a loneliness epidemic that affects 1 out of 2 American adults. At Flash Pack, our mission is to create more than a million new friendships – so we have created The Friendship Bus to encourage conversation and connection, regardless of political beliefs. Engaging with strangers can feel awkward at the best of times, but we will break the ice with our bespoke Conversation Cards – which have been informed by ten years of friendship-making. Through these conversation starters, and various activities designed to help strangers open up to each other, visitors can arrive solo, but leave as friends. We saw how powerful this process can be, when we opened our Friendship Corner in New York this summer – and, of course, from every group trip we’ve organized over the years. After all, 80% of Flashpackers stay in touch.

About us
Flash Pack is an award-winning adventure travel company that brings together solo travelers in their 30s and 40s. We curate spectacular trips around the world that empower people looking for challenge and escapism. Our mission is to create a great group dynamic between like-minded travellers, a goal that has seen us grow a powerful community of over 130,000 Flashpackers in more than 15 countries. Flash Pack is the brainchild of die-hard adventurists, Radha Vyas and Lee Thompson. Together, they want to change the face of the industry, shaking off tired old clichés associated with group travel. Their vision is to create comfort-busting adventures that really get under the skin of a place via local and unique experiences. Think all the thrill of backpacking, elevated by boutique hotels and seamless itineraries. Flash Pack has tapped into a unique demand at a unique time for solo travel. Since we launched in 2014, business has boomed, with triple-digit year-on-year growth. We’ve also won a string of awards and picked up wall-to-wall press coverage. Perhaps our proudest achievement, however, is the people at the heart of our adventures. In an age when the world is retreating behind screens, our trips spark meaningful connections and lifelong friendships. We are building a movement of like-minded solo travellers all over the globe. And we’re riding the tide of change at a pivotal moment for the industry.

Meet Krishna. Krishna loves Winter. As our Head Inventor (yes, that’s a real title), she’s channeled her frosty passion into creating our new Winter Travel Collection. So, winter lovers, what are you waiting for? These icy escapes are hot right now—but only while limited spaces last. Winter Estonia is one of those “still-feels-like-a-secret” destinations – which is why you need to go now, before the world catches on. On this adventure you’ll explore Lahemaa National Park via husky rides, winter survival skill classes, gourmet lantern-lit forest picnics and a 2000-year-old bathing ritual. Oh, and you’ll sleep in medieval Tallinn’s best boutique hotel, too. Yep, told you it was special. Winter Sweden combines cross-country skiing and Northern Lights hunting 200 kilometres above the Arctic Circle. A once-in-a-lifetime meditation session with huskies (yep, we’re serious) and a remote wild moose and reindeer safari. A traditional Sami family dinner and fireside picnics amongst snowy forest… Are you starting to understand why we’re so excited for this one? https://lnkd.in/d_Kb-55m

Giving disposable cameras to travelers heading out on Flash Pack trips is our new favourite hobby. 😍 Thanks to Toby Roney, who joined Chris on his trip to Kenya and took some amazing shots featured here. Video inspired by Life on film 👏

Early on in my trip, I realized that there was not much overlap between solo travel and disability travel. That prompted me to set about making a new world record: a challenge that required me to submit over 2000 pieces of evidence. So, every time someone signed a statement for me on my travels, they started following my journey. They were as excited as I was when I was finally awarded the title. ❤️ Read the full article by Renee Bruns
