flashpacking noun [U]
/ˈflæʃ.pæk.ɪŋ/
a type of backpacking (travelling or camping while carrying everything you need in a backpack) that is more comfortable and luxurious than traditional backpacking
However, this notion that spending more and travelling with state-of-the-art technological paraphernalia makes a traveller somehow ‘elite’ or ‘flashier’ might not really be relevant any longer … the concept of a clear divide between ‘flashpacking’ and regular backpacking doesn’t really apply any more. It would seem that nowadays, with the world so hyperconnected and once-revolutionary technology now easily accessible, almost all global wanderers are ‘flashpackers’.

bleisure noun [U]
UK /ˈbleʒ.əʳ/ US /ˈbliː.ʒɚ/
the activity of combining business travel with leisure time
While bleisure travel isn’t growing in a huge way, this study shows nearly half of millennial business travelers add leisure to business trips. Those young travelers could cut back as they get older — or employers might need to better adjust to a rise in bleisure down the road.

honeyteer noun [C]
UK /hʌn.iˈtɪəʳ/ US /hʌn.iˈtɪr/
a honeymoon spent doing voluntary work, usually abroad
Choosing a honeyteer means you and your new spouse could work together to build houses in Belize for orphaned children, teach English to the fisherman of Zanzibar … or head to the Brazilian Amazon to research and monitor pink river dolphins in the Mamirau? So if you are ready to roll up your sleeves after you take off your wedding gown, a honeyteer could be the perfect fit for you and your honey.

I think people are trying to create neologisms that make no sense. Why can’t I say: ‘we decided to do volunteer work in our honeymoon’? Can’t I go backpacking if I have technological apparatus? I don’t get it!
neither do I
Just like less and less people use “whom” and “shall‘’,they think that it will be better.
And why some prefer to say XD than ‘haha’? Sure, this is a bit, well, weird…but it doesn’t mean that you must use it.
what is the basis for your new word. it seemes kinda a brainstrom for website editor.
This makes me learn more and more new words.
