Tiivistelmä:Scholarship on backpackers speculates that backpacking (henceforth as: b-png.) may be extended to a way of life for some individuals (here as: indvs). This article empirically explores this proposition using lifestyle (herein as: l-s.) consumption as its framing concept and conceptualizing indvs. styling their lives around the practice of b-png. as 'lifestyle travellers'.
Ethnographic interviews with l-s. travellers in India and Thailand provide an emic account of the practices, ideologies and social identity characterizing l-s. travel as a distinctive subtype within b-png. The concept of l-s. allows for a contemporary appraisal of these indvs.' patterns of meaningful consumption and wider insights into how ongoing mobility can lead to different ways of understanding identities and relating to place.
