While sleeping in crowded hotels and strapping¹ 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 itinerary² 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 dubbed³ because they backpack with flash or style, are generally older than the average student backpacker and thus have the funds to satisfy their champagne⁴ 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。
