Solo is looking for travel writers

Calling US writers: I’m starting this week as Editor of SOLO, the editorial platform for adventure-travel brand Flash Pack. We want to hear from you, whether you’re a columnist, podcaster, author or journalist.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Flash Pack trips are made up of ‘can’t-do-by-yourself’ experiences – think learning survival skills with a Royal Marine Army Commando in the Arctic and glamping in Range Rovers on the Serengeti.

We’ve got years of experience building trips that cater to the needs of discerning 30-49 year olds, and local guides on the ground to help us ensure they’re immersive and authentic.

It’s true that COVID put a stop to things for us, but it also gave us time to obsess over Flash Pack’s adventures. With the help of our guides and years of feedback and data, we have fine-tuned and perfected every one of the adventures you can book today.

We are the only travel company that obsesses over the group dynamic, doing everything in our power to ensure you’re comfortable and building friendships within the first 24 hours. The result? In 2019, our group dynamic score was rated 8.9/10 – and a recent survey showed that 60% of Flash Pack past travellers have kept in touch and meet up regularly.

  • Attach links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
