I generally try to stay in backpackers' lodges when I travel and don't have friends to bunk with.
The nice thing about backpackers' lodges is that you can mingle with other young people from different countries with different ideas.
The problem is that I'm starting to feel a little bit older, am travelling mostly on business and find myself not wanting to mingle as much with the raucous beer-drinking Aussies as I used to.
Wouldn't it be great though, if we had a few backpackers around the country that were focused on new media travellers? You know, the young "big idea" types who would prize a lounge with plenty power plugs, good coffee and Wi-Fi over a common room with a pool table and DSTV?
Please leave a comment if you think it's a good idea, know of something similar anywhere or if you have any ideas to add!

Great idea, as long as they're all Skyroved out, I'm happy
I dig it. They'd be called "Flashpackers" though, because presumably they'd have a bit of gadgetry with them.
I'm sure Pia at Backpackers.com would have an interesting perspective on this pia at backpackers dot com
Not bad - you could install a body odour and "THAT ACCCENT" detector, but we'd still need to contend with the megalomaniac ego challenge.
Like - my New Media idea is so new they're thinking about calling it Future Media - like, a genre unto itself, geddit?
Though slightly less skanky backpackers would be nice - and on that note: Coffee Shack in the Transkei is the BOMB - Cintsa Backpackers is the pits. Don't go there.
