In the recent, never-ending quest for coining terms and applying sub-labels to every conceivable noun in the English dictionary (why is this, are there really too few words in the English vernacular that we need to keep expanding it?) a new term has quickly risen in the category of travel: flashpacking.<\/p>\n
I actually first heard this term back in early September when someone during a lecture asked the Frugal Traveler from the New York Times whether he’s heard of the term, to which he responded with a dumbfounded shrug. I never had either, but I was hoping it had something to do with nudity and travel, but alas, the real definition, or phenomena, has a far more banal meaning. It’s simply describing older travelers (read: over 29) who travel cheap and gravitate towards hostels.<\/p>\n
