Embrace The Adventure - Lee Thompson - FlashPack
“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” - Lee ThompsonA Flash Pack adventure is an amazing opportunity to break out of your comfort zone and do things differently, all the while getting to know genuinely interesting people. ‘Embrace the adventure’ is our core value, and we expect Flashpackers to do the same.Not sure you’re ready to completely give yourself up to the experience?
