If you live by the rule of “quality over quantity”, then you are going to love flashpacking. This style of travel combines adrenaline-rush activities with elevated accommodation so that you can recharge in between all the adventures. Imagine comfortable beds, ensuite bathrooms and, more often than not, stylish perks like a swimming pool, bar, gym and restaurant! Where can we sign up?
While shoestring travel has its benefits, the hostel life is not for everyone and that is completely okay. Embrace your preference for comfort without having to compromise on which destinations you can visit. We offer several ‘Plus’ trips to places like Thailand and Bali where the itinerary is similar to the standard group tours, with the benefit of upgraded rooms!
Start exploring the trips listed below that let you enjoy the nicer things in life, while still chasing fresh destinations across the globe.

Fancy flashpacking
If you’ve graduated from backpacking and feel a little bit past sharing a room with six sweaty strangers in Asia, then our flashpack tours are the only way to travel! If you want to see the world without slumming it, can afford a bigger budget, and would like to ditch the beaten up backpack for a smart suitcase, then you are already a flashpacker at heart! If comfort wins out over ‘character’ and you want a little bit of spoiling, sling your sleeping bag away and splash out on a smarter, stylish place to sleep at night. Invest in a round the world trip and style your gap year to suit you.
Fun flashpacking
Flashpacking is a top way to travel for any techno-traveller wanting a gap year trip. Flashpackers are truly global gap year travellers and they take the technology with them to prove it. If you can’t bear the thought of leaving home without your smartphone, tablet, laptop, and digital camera then you’re probably a secret flashpacker. If you set off around the world on a flashpacking gap year, chances are you’ll be blogging your best bits, tweeting your top tips and Facebooking your favourite destinations. Never more than a whisper away from the nearest Wi-Fi spot, flashpackers will fill you in on every step of their gap year adventure.
Flexible flashpacking
Flashpackers are every bit as adventurous as their backpacking buddies, with a flexible itinerary that lets you jet off at a moment’s notice and act on impulse. Rather than getting bogged down in bus rides through Bangkok or Bali, you can fly off at the drop of a hat and flashpack your way to your next dream destination. If you’ve got itchy feet but want smart shoes, not scuffed sandals then flashpacking is the way to follow your favourite gap year routes.
Fearless flashpacking
Flashpacking is the new trend in travel and a fun and flexible way to tour the world. Find your inner flashpacker, be fearless and fly off on a gap year for the flash way to see the world!
