Abstract

Previous research has identified travellers from non-Western regions as an emerging market for European destinations, considering they increasingly take solo trips and use backpacker facilities. Using retrospective collaborative autoethnography along with affect theory, this research note centres on non-Western backpackers in Europe, with an emphasis on investigating our encounters during backpacking travels across four European countries and our own Western-non-Western identities. By unfolding a series of affective encounters between us as backpackers and visited European cities, we endeavour to illuminate some ponderings over our travel identities and our sense of (un)welcoming Europe.
