Westerhausen (2002, p. 146) notes ‘for a sizeable minority, being on the road becomes a preferred way of life to which they will return whenever the opportunity presents itself.’ Noy and Cohen (2005) further highlight that such ‘lifelong wanderers’ have rarely been the subject of empirical research.

(2002) do observe evidence of ‘serial backpacking’, in which multiple backpacking trips may be pursued after an initial backpacking experience, sometimes reflecting changing motivations across a ‘backpacking biography’ or a single trip.

Objection 1 We have said that "propositions" are abstract entities, even though sentences are now being said to "express" them rather than to name them as in the Referential Theory. Considered as entities, these abstract items are somewhat weird. They are not located anywhere in space, and, since they could not be created or destroyed, they are also temporally eternal or at least everlasting. They existed long before any living being did, even though their contents 72 Theories of meaning have to do with highly specific states of human affairs, such as Fred's having downed four quick Malaga Coolers at He's Not Here during the early evening of Tuesday 19 September 1995.
