traipses
Walks without purpose
Traipses is the third-person singular of traipse, meaning to walk or trudge, usually with a note of weariness or aimlessness.
The word often implies going somewhere tediously or without clear purpose: She traipses all over town looking for bargains.
There's sometimes a hint of disapproval—someone who traipses around isn't being efficient or purposeful.
