0 someone who travels to different places on holiday in a similar way to a backpacker, but has more money to spend on hotels, meals, transport, etc.:
A flashpacker is an independent traveller with money to spend.
As a flashpacker I love to visit renaissance buildings and hit up various clubs when I travel.
A flashpacker still travels with a backpack, is budget-conscious, and travels independently, but at the same time is willing to spend a little more on comfort or to make the best use of their time.
Flashpackers tend to be a bit older, may have kids, and in most cases were probably a backpacker at some point in their early travel career.
Like most flashpackers, I started out as a backpacker, staying in the cheapest places I could find, hitchhiking, and surviving on bread and tomatoes.
