Traveller
Nomadic ethnic group
A traveller is someone who journeys from place to place—whether for work, pleasure, or as a way of life.
The spelling with double L is standard in British English; Americans write traveler.
In Britain and Ireland, Traveller (often capitalized) specifically denotes members of traditionally itinerant ethnic groups such as Irish Travellers or Romani people: The Traveller community has faced discrimination for generations.
