out-of-towner
Someone from elsewhere
An out-of-towner is someone visiting or unfamiliar with a place, especially a city.
The term often carries a hint of condescension—locals spotting tourists by their confusion or clothing: You can always tell the out-of-towners by the way they stop in the middle of the sidewalk.
It implies not knowing how things work here.
