Very early on in our research for the trip, we came across an article titled,
"Essential Items for a Flashpacker". Hmmm...interesting...what does it mean?
Apparently,
Flashpacking is Backpacking for the 21st century. It’s no longer

If Backpackers are defined by their lack

pricey gadgets such as a netbook, SLR camera, eReader, iPhone and extra hard
drive. Check, check, check, check and check.
Just call us Flashpackers.
