globetrotting
Visiting many countries
Globetrotting is traveling widely around the world, especially for pleasure or adventure.
The term suggests frequent, far-flung journeys rather than a single trip: She spent her twenties globetrotting through Asia and South America.
A globetrotter is someone who travels this way.
The word carries connotations of leisure, curiosity, and perhaps privilege.
