noun backpackers
- A traveler whose luggage consists of a backpack; especially, such a traveler who uses hostels, public transport, and other inexpensive services.

- A hostel offering accommodation for such people. We hardly ever stayed in backpackers as it was approximately double the cost of pitching a tent in a caravan park or nature reserve.
- A fan or performer of backpack rap. Blacks and Latinos were more likely to be gangsta rappers than backpackers.
