itinerate

Travel place-to-place

To itinerate is to travel from place to place, especially in a regular circuit for work.

The word appears most often in religious contexts—itinerant preachers and ministers who move between congregations rather than serving a single church: Methodist clergy itinerated among rural parishes.

The adjective itinerant is far more common than the verb.
