Hey Flashpackers,

Wow, where do we even start? 2024 was an absolute whirlwind of adventures, friendships, and memories—and it’s all thanks to YOU. So grab a cup of mulled wine (or a hot chocolate) and let’s take a look back at the magic we created together.

✨ 10 Years of Flash Pack

This year, we hit double digits! That’s 10 years of redefining group travel and proving that adventures aren’t just about destinations—they’re about the people you share them with. As our founders Radha Vyas and Lee Thompson say:

“We didn’t set out to build a travel company—we wanted to build a community. Seeing strangers turn into lifelong friends has been the highlight of our journey. Here’s to another 10 years of friendships and epic adventures!”

🌍 Adventures & Friendships

This year, thousands of you set off on incredible journeys—and friendships? Just ask Sarah, who met her three new besties (all from Chicago!) on a group trip to Argentina. Or the hundreds of you who bonded over baklava in Turkey, sake in Japan, and sangria in Portugal.

Here are the top 5 most popular trips taken In 2024 (globally):

Greece: Athens & the Islands

🌟 Milestones Worth Toasting

Flash Pack Turns 10: Ten years since Radha and Lee founded Flash Pack on their first date!
150, 000 friendships created: We are well on our way to 1 million
Friendship Corner: NYC loved it, Mark Ruffalo liked it (literally), and friendships were born in a 24-square-foot corner.
Friendship Bus: We toured the US, made thousands of connections, and even got a wave from the Vice President. No biggie.
Top 250 Startups in Europe: That’s right, Flash Pack made the Sifted 250 Leaderboard for 2024. Cue the confetti!

👥 Exciting Updates

We launched 21 new trips, including unforgettable adventures like Albania, Bosnia and Montenegro—because exploring off the beaten path never goes out of style.
Antarctica: A huge success this year, selling out faster than you can say “polar plunge.” We’ve added two more 2025 departures, with just 14-16 spots each—and more could be coming soon!
Short Stays: We introduced six Short Stays, designed for those dipping their toes into group travel for the first time—shorter, accessible, and perfect for a taste of adventure.
Age Range Expansion: Last but not least, we expanded our age range, now running trips for 45 – 59 as well as 30s & 40s —because Flashpackers only get better with age.

As we wave goodbye to 2024, we can’t wait to see where 2025 takes us. Thank you for being part of the Flash Pack family. You’ve made this year unforgettable.

Here’s to more adventures, more friendships, and more unforgettable moments.

Warm (and festive) wishes,
Flash Pack Team
