0 the activity of travelling to different places on holiday in a way that is similar to backpacking, but involves having more money to spend on hotels, meals, transport, etc.:
Flashpacking could be described simply as backpacking with a bigger budget.
I spend a lot of time travelling, some of it backpacking, some of it flashpacking and some of it work.
The new breed of boutique hostels that have cropped up in the past few years are perfect for flashpacking.
Flashpacking means you can allow yourself those once-in-a-lifetime experiences: a hot air balloon ride; a wildlife safari cruise; driving around Iceland in a rented car.
