cruised

Traveled without effort

Cruised is the past tense of cruise.

To cruise is to travel at a steady, unhurried pace—a ship cruising the Caribbean, a car cruising down the highway.

By extension, to cruise through something is to handle it with ease: She cruised through the exam.

Cruise also means to move around looking for something casual—a taxi cruising for fares, or someone cruising for a sexual partner: He cruised the bars all night.
