Globetrotting co-founder @flashpack | On a mission to make some new friends

[Lee Thompson @flashpacklee]

In my 30s, I realized I didn’t have any friends. So, I’ve been on a year long mission to change that 👋

Introducing The Friendship Bus 🚌 -this Oct, we’re hitting the road from Chicago to DC, Philly, and NYC to build friendships and #VoteFriendship 🇺🇸

@Shazna_Muzammil @NationalHways @bedspolice @letstalkcentral My wife is also stuck on this road (5 hours now) with no supplies. I’ve heard people with young children are also stuck without water / supplies. Feels crazy that it’s not standard practice to give out water during an incident like this in hot weather?

[Lee Thompson @flashpacklee]

@rhiaaaa792 @HighwaysEAST My wife is in the same situation- stuck with no water or supplies for over 5 hours. Will water be supplied to drivers?

Over the past two weeks, the bus has traveled from Chicago, DC, Philly, and now New York, inviting people to get to know each other through a series of questions.

The Friendship Bus arrives in Philly today. Once on-board, people are paired up with strangers and asked a series of questions to, hopefully, spark new relationships.

According to a 2024 study, Washington. D.C. was among the loneliest cities in America. But, an adventurous travel organization is hoping to change that with a Friendship Bus.

@GeorgieR30 @flashpack @yahoolife Thanks for the opportunity @GeorgieR30 - I hope this inspires many other men to break the stigma surrounding loneliness and join me in the mission to forge new friendships!
