For my style of travel I lean more on the flashpacker side then the traditional backpacker. Here is the definition of a flashpacker from wikipedia.
“The flashpacker adheres to a modest accommodation and meal budget, while spending freely, even excessively, for activities at their chosen destination. Another school of thought defines flashpacking as an incongruous mix of ’slumming it’ and luxury; of adventurous travel with those on a budget by day and sedate dining and comfortable accommodation by night. Flashpackers have been further defined as tech-savvy adventurers who often prefer to travel with a cell phone, digital camera, iPod and a laptop.”
Here is some of my gear that goes along for the ride allowing me to update this blog and keep in touch with family and friends back home.
