moves about
Shifts from place
Moves about means to change position within a space or travel from place to place without a fixed destination.
Someone who moves about a room circulates through it; someone who moves about for work travels regularly: She moves about the country giving lectures.
The phrase suggests ongoing or habitual movement rather than a single journey.
