traveling
Moving between destinations
Traveling is moving from place to place, especially over considerable distances: We spent the summer traveling through Europe.
The word often implies leisure or adventure rather than routine commuting.
In basketball, traveling is the violation of moving without dribbling.
Also spelled travelling (British English).
