rolling stone
Never settles down
A rolling stone is someone who moves frequently from place to place, never settling down or forming lasting attachments.
The phrase comes from the proverb "a rolling stone gathers no moss," which can be read as either criticism (rootless, uncommitted) or praise (free, unburdened).
He's always been a rolling stone—three cities in five years. (Capitalized Rolling Stone is the magazine or the band.)
