globe-trotting

Visiting many countries

Globe-trotting means traveling widely around the world, especially frequently or casually.

The term suggests someone who hops from country to country with ease: a globe-trotting journalist, her globe-trotting lifestyle.

A globe-trotter is such a traveler.

The word carries a slightly breezy tone—adventure without hardship.
