A Flashpacker

I learned something new as I browse the internet searching for our next travel destination; Flashpacking a new version of backpacking.

Flashpacking is a new word used to refer to an affluent backpacker. flashpacking has an association of more disposable income while traveling and has been defined simply as backpacking with a bigger budget. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpacking)

Well, they say flashpackers are travelers ages in the  range of mid 20's to early 30's finding adventure but still travel like a backpacker. They have a bigger budget compared to a backpacker; comfort travel is a must.

Though they have a bigger budget than a backpacker, flashpackers still prefer to stay on a hostel or guesthouses rather than in a fancy expensive hotels. They still use public transport such as bus, trains, etc.. Flashpackers still has a backpackers mentality.

Flashpackers usually don't go on tour packages, rather they make their own itinerary and go to places by themselves. The more adventurous the better. ㋡

Flashpackers usually have these gadgets/items on them during their travels;
✓ Laptop
✓ Digital Camera
✓ MP3 player
✓ Mobile Phone
✓ Body essential products (travel kit)


.... If that's being a flashpacker, then maybe I'm one of them. Budget trips, comfort, adventure, new experiences. ♥

 A flashpacker or a backpacker as you are, it doesn't matter, as long as you enjoyed the adventures and misadventures of your travel.
Memories and Experience is still the best thing you can have.  ♡ ♡ ♡
