It’s the latest in backpacker trends. But what is flashpacking, and how do you flashpack successfully? Flashpackers have been defined as those in their mid 20s to early 30s who still follow the backpacker route and travel like a backpacker. Where they differ from the traditional budget globetrotter, however, is in their budget and their desire for comfort and amenities while they are travelling. Flashpackers expect better accommodation and have more money to spend on food and other comforts while they move around the world.
