roamers

Those who wander

Roamers are people or animals that wander from place to place without a fixed destination.

The word suggests movement that is unhurried and exploratory rather than purposeful: The park attracts roamers looking to escape the city.

In telecommunications, roamers are mobile phone users connecting through networks outside their home coverage area.
