I had no idea what Flashpacking was before reading this post. To be honest, I still had no idea immediately afterwards. In fact, it took a Google search and a visit to Wikipedia before I discovered that Flashpacking is simply ‘backpacking with a bigger budget’. That explains why I had never heard the term before.

Flashpacker guideblog, The Tux in the Backpack, shares its top ten online resources for the affluent backpacker. Alongside such sites as Tripadvisor, Travelpod and (of course) Wikipedia, the 3 Skypephone is praised for bringing the most popular VoIP service out there into your pocket – rescuing our wealthy wanderers from those “call abroad for cheap” phone booths.

While it’s great that the 3 Skypephone continues to attract attention for its unique benefits, I hardly think it’s the reserve of well-off wanderers. Have any ordinary backpackers taken the 3 Skypephone abroad with them? If so, how did it work out?
