苦哈哈地挤在低价旅馆里，一瓶水两个面包过一天……一些有一定经济基础的背包客不再选择这样的旅行方式，他们更愿意花钱享受旅途的舒适惬意。

While sleeping in crowded hostels and strapping all your possessions to your back is heaven for some, there’s another breed of backpacker who’s looking for luxury.

睡在拥挤的旅店，把所有行囊背在背上，尽管这对一些人来说很有乐趣，但还有一些背包客热衷于寻找奢华体验。

Like their penny-pinching cousins, these travellers go from one exotic destination to the next with no itinerary or tour operator to guide them, toting laptops and other hi-tech gear.

就像节约型游客一样，奢华背包客出国旅游时也没有旅行日程或者旅行社的引导，但他们随身携带手提电脑和高科技装备。

“Flashpackers,” as they have been dubbed because they backpack with flash or style, are generally older than the average student backpacker and thus have the funds to satisfy their champagne tastes.

由于他们的装备时尚前卫，他们被称为“奢华背包客”。他们的年龄比一般的学生背包客要大些，因此也有钱满足自己的奢侈品味。

A poll of 1,000 working professionals aged from 35 to 54 found that more than three-quarters (78 percent) would define their travelling style as that of a 'flashpacker' - an adventure traveller that desires style and comfort.

一项针对1000名年龄在35岁到54岁的职场人士的调查表明，超过四分之三（78%）的受访者称自己属于追求旅行时尚感和舒适度的“奢华背包客”。

例句：

Have you seen all his gadgets? He's a real flashpacker.

你看到他那些时尚小玩意了吗？他真是一个奢华背包客。
