Another two weeks, another review of the best that has been written online regarding the Flashpacking phenomenon.
First of all we have to point out how in the last month or two there has been a sharp increase in ready-made articles from sites like Articledashboard.com or Ezinearticles.com, and a lot of fake travel blogs scraping articles about Flashpacking from other travel blogs. We take that as a good sign that the phenomenon is growing, however here we bring you only the best, fresh and original content, even if sometimes there’s only a few of those posts.
Rogue Stampede: Travel is for cheap turds. Or not.
A very interesting article against those who look from above at flashpackers, claiming that you have to rough it at all costs in order to experience the culture of a place. Nice room = no culture experienced? “Does living in a grotty hostel with drunk idiots on the bunk below you – and shaking the damned bed as it is – an authentic cultural experience?”
One of the best pieces on flashpacking (and allow us to say, on travelling as well) written lately.
a cultural experience?
