With the 1st day of may comes the usual appointment to what has been said online in the last two weeks about Flashpacking and Flashpackers. Here we go.
Am I a Backpacker or a Tourist? MadTravelMag.com
It all started with something written on a wall of a fine drinking establishment: “No Fishermans pants, no tie dye, no dreadlocks, no head scarfs, in fact nothing you wouldn’t wear to visit your local pub. Just remember you are not a bloody backpacker, you’re just a tourist!”
just a tourist..
Flashpacker or Backpacker? What type of traveler are you? MadTravelMag.com
Champagne Backpacker, that’s a good one: “I know that when I first set off on my worldwide adventure I thought I was going to be a backpacker. I soon discovered that most backpackers didn’t see me as exactly the same sort of traveler as them. The term flashpacker wasn’t really being used that much at the time and I was called a champagne backpacker, which is basically the same thing.”
