About Us

OUR STORY

Flash Pack is the brainchild of Radha Vyas and Lee Thompson. Together, they wanted to change the face of the industry, shaking off tired old clichés associated with group travel.

Their vision was to create adventures for like-minded solo travellers in their 30s and 40s that really get under the skin of a place via local and unique experiences. Think the thrill of backpacking, elevated by boutique hotels and seamless itineraries.

WHY WE EXIST

Tired of compromising on your travel dreams because no one else you know is available, or wants, to go? We’re here for you.

Flash Pack exists to offer boutique travel experiences to people in their 30s and 40s who may otherwise have compromised on their travel dreams. So whether your friends and family are busy or don’t share the same interests as you, or you simply don’t like the idea of travelling alone – we’re on hand to help.

NO MORE HASSLE

It’s our job to take the hassle out of travel planning for you. From helping you decide which trip is best for you, to taking care of all the logistics, once booked, all you need to do is turn up at the airport. All our adventures come with private transport and English-speaking guides, too, and our experts will share advice on everything from visas to packing.

THE FLASH PACK FOUNDATION

At Flash Pack, we firmly believe in channelling money back into local communities and we’ve set up a Flash Pack Foundation for exactly that purpose. Find out how we support local businesses around the world and join us in making a positive difference.

Our Community

The group I was with were all like minded people and as soon as I met them I knew I would have an amazing time
Alex via Feefo

Flash Pack aren’t the cheapest (I’ll admit that made me waver a little bit before booking) but I’m convinced they are the best value for money, with so many activities included, and really lovely hotels.
Victoria via Feefo

I had never travelled on my own and I was nervous at the thought of spending 2 weeks with complete strangers. I had absolutely NOTHING to worry about at all. The group of people on this trip were fantastic.

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Radha Vyas & Lee Thompson

“I was in my thirties, stressed at work and wanted to get away and have some fun and adventure. All my friends were busy getting married, having kids or tied up with their own respective careers. When I researched the market, I realised it was predominantly catering to young budget backpackers or the luxury, retired market. I was somewhere in between. I wanted a dynamic adventure with people my own age and a boutique hotel. So I set up my own travel company!”

“If you told me I’d be running a group travel company six years ago, I’d have laughed you out the door. Hand-holding isn’t my thing. In fact, my 14-year career as a photojournalist means I am fiercely independent. Working for national and international titles, my job led me all over the world, from the chaos of the Libyan Civil War to the fallout of the Japanese tsunami. My assignments were difficult and often dangerous, but never, ever dull. And they opened up a side to countries that tourists just don’t get to see. It’s this off-radar magic that convinced me I could change the face of group travel”
