Flash Pack

Hugh Waldren 14th Jul 2026 7 min read 712 When I booked a group trip to Peru last year, it was a rogue move for me and quite out of character. I’ve never been to South America before, I haven’t traveled with strangers and, at the time, I knew nothing about Inca history. Before traveling with Flash Pack, going on vacation meant big group getaways with friends. We might explore the local town, but we’d never do anything particularly immersive or cultural.

Flash Pack and WeRoad both specialize in small group adventures around the world – but there are a number of key differences between the trip style and dynamic that each company offers. Our team performed a deep dive of comments from customer reviews and publicly available feedback across the internet, to understand more about that difference, and how travelers see the comparison between us.

I’m a super active person. I love trips with variety and adventure in the mix. I’m also at a stage in my life in my 30s when a lot of my friends are married or trying for children. If they’re having a vacation, they’ll generally go with their families. Or they’ll want to do a weekend break in Europe, versus the bigger chunk of time you need for a more out-there escape. I work in the London-based offices of Goldman Sachs and lots of my colleagues go on safari.

And in the case of Flash Pack’s trip to the Dominican Republic, it couldn’t have gone better. As a dancer at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, I love to travel and experience new cultures.

Izzy Mason 23rd Jun 2026 11 min read 3329 Solo travel has never been more popular. But while the freedom of going wherever you want, whenever you want sounds amazing in theory, many first-time solo travelers share the same concern: What if I get lonely? The good news is this: traveling solo doesn’t have to mean being alone. In fact, many travelers find that solo travel leads to more meaningful conversations, deeper connections and stronger friendships than trips taken with friends or partners.

Liam Baldock 12th Jun 2026 10 min read 3032 I don’t normally get emotional at the end of a vacation but saying goodbye after seven days immersed in a new and immersive Sense Safari in South Africa found me in floods of tears. The trip – part of Flash Pack’s exclusive wellbeing collection designed to help guests slow down and reconnect – was unlike anything I’d experienced before. It was profound and emotional in ways I never expected.
