journeyer
One who travels
A journeyer is someone who journeys—a traveler, especially one on a long or significant trip: The weary journeyers arrived at the inn after dark.
The word is uncommon, with traveler serving most contexts, but journeyer emphasizes the act of journeying rather than simply being away from home.
