galavanting
Traipsing about frivolously
Galavanting means roaming about in search of pleasure or entertainment, often with a carefree or irresponsible air: She spent the summer galavanting around Europe.
The word carries a faintly disapproving tone, suggesting someone is neglecting duties or being frivolous: While you were off galavanting, I was here doing the work.
Also spelled gallivanting.
