It's rather amusing to see how the new age traveler look was co-opted by poncy, rather straight-laced holidaymakers. Then again that whole scene was full of contradictions.SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 6:18 pmCall me a boring old man, but I don't think there has been anything that compares to the hippy trail for a long long time.
The modern backpacker experience is far removed from the days before lonely planets and smartphones.
Say what you like about afghani sandals and morrocan glass beads, but at least it was real adventuring. Not now. (for most)
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Maybe they're all quite happy & enjoying themselves, apart from the times when they find themselves in the same bar as some miserable old farts ?I do find it amusing (and sad) that so many old people look down so much on young people who like to travel & explore the world

Full of hipsters or elephant pant wearing backpackers all riding those noisy shitty Honda Wins, and looking so small under them.
Why do they all look so miserable when they’re not glued to their phones or telling some, like, amazing, like thing they, like did, like. Ever. Like. (I blame us for that annoying intrusion on English).
I hear they are all in Kampot now along with the cheap Charlie 50c lot. Now that’s funny!
