gypsylike
Free-spirited and roaming
Resembling or characteristic of stereotypical Gypsy lifestyle or appearance—nomadic, unconventional, colorfully dressed, or free-spirited: her gypsylike wanderings across Europe, a gypsylike caravan decorated with bright fabrics.
The term draws on romanticized notions of Romani culture rather than authentic representation.
