Similar to the common backpacker in that they also travel alone or in pairs rather than using tours, and carry the eponymous trekking pack; however they typically are in their 30s and 40s with enough income to stay in guesthouses instead of dorm rooms. They stay for shorter periods of time and are winning to pay for the fastest or most comfortable means of transportation (but not exclusively). These travelers might be former backpackers who aren't going to argue over the price of a beer, but still aren't traveling in luxury. Also, a derogatory term used by backpackers (who also carry gadgets) to describe someone who no longer feels the romance of sleeping with cockroaches or riding the chicken bus.
