You are too old to call yourself a backpacker if you use suitcases or worse yet use one of those devices equipped with wheels that you pull behind you like a recalcitrant child.

Unless you're a Cambodian expat, then it's the new 60 according to Cam Nivag.General Mackevili wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2017 2:56 pm I spend about half the year being a backpacker, and the other half of the year laughing at backpackers. I'll be 40 very soon. 40's the new 20, right?

Exactly, one pair of underpants, a lunghi and a t-shirt. Possibly a Leica too if you're into that sort of thing. NO SHOES!

Nope, not true - if it's reasonably new soap they'll steal it and give it ironically to another backpacker as a gag birthday gift.

I hate backpackers
Re: When are you too old to be a backpacker ?
Backpacking, defined, form of low-cost, independent travel. Done the trips. Dislike the meaning low cost, have enough money to enjoy your travels.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

You're too old to be a backpacker when you stop taking busses and become smart enough to realize wheels are efficient; and in SE Asia, IF you shop around, $20/night will get you 3-4-star, air conditioned accommodation with a pool and a buffet breakfast on or near the beach.
You could be next.
