peregrinator
One who roams
A peregrinator is one who travels or wanders, especially through foreign lands.
The word carries a slightly formal or literary flavor, evoking the image of someone journeying on foot across unfamiliar territory rather than merely taking a vacation.
The old peregrinator had stories from every continent.
It shares its root with peregrine, as in the falcon named for its migratory habits.
