What is Flashpacking?
Flashpacking refers 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.

The term also reflects a growing demographic of travelers who are forsaking traditional organized travel, venturing to destination once the reserve of more adventurous backpackers and increasing numbers of individuals who leave well paid jobs or take 'career breaks', using the time to travel independently, but with greater comfort and many of the gadgets they are accustomed to at home.
