Flashpacking is the neologism used to refer to affluent backpacking and backpacker, in such that a flashpacker shares many of the characteristics of a backpacker in that they travel independently with flexibility for generally longer periods than is common place amongst tourists and to more exotic and far-flung destinations. However, whereas low cost travel is associated with backpacking, flashpacking has an association of more disposable income while traveling. [EX: Bringing cellphones, PDAs, and/or laptop]LOL, I've gotten too old for the hardcore backpacking shit and (mis)adventures that I went through in Europe with OCWaterBoy.
