daytripper
Home by sundown
A daytripper is someone who takes a trip and returns the same day, without staying overnight.
The term often carries a faintly dismissive tone—locals may view daytrippers as tourists who crowd a place without fully experiencing it: The beach town swells with daytrippers every summer weekend.
The Beatles' 1965 song used the word as slang for someone who dabbles in the counterculture without real commitment.
