peripatetic
Always on foot
Peripatetic describes someone who travels from place to place, especially for work, rather than staying in one location.
A peripatetic music teacher might visit several schools each week; a peripatetic lifestyle involves frequent moves or travel.
The word can function as both adjective and noun: She lived a peripatetic existence for years or He was a peripatetic, never settling anywhere long.
The term carries connotations of restlessness or professional necessity rather than tourism.
