A couple determined to tackle loneliness have set up a holiday company that specialises in helping people make friends.
Lee Thompson is upfront about his struggles with loneliness, which hit hard during his travels to more than 100 countries when he would find himself missing out on friendship and family time, struggling to form meaningful relationships.
So, along with his partner Radha Vyas, the 41-year-old Londoner decided to do something about it and set up Flash Pack - a firm organising small group adventures for solo travellers in their 30s and 40s who want to see the world while making some new pals.
