Alex Sigrist | Ugly Truth about Western Begpackers in Asia || ft. Garren (not a begpacker) @AlexSigrist | Uploaded July 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
A begpacker is a beggar + backpacker.
A traveler who wants other people to pay for their money.
And pretty much an embarrassment to...all people?

They go on the streets of the places they travel and either ask for money or perform a small act (free hugs + donations 💴) to fund their trips.

And they generally suck.

Disclaimer: There are some talented people that do travel around the world offering legitimate goods and services. This video is about the people that (as mentioned above) suck.
