traveling merchants
Itinerant goods sellers
Traveling merchants are traders who move from place to place selling goods, rather than operating from a fixed location.
The term evokes historical figures—peddlers, tinkers, caravans along trade routes—but applies equally to modern vendors at craft fairs or flea markets.
Traveling merchants brought news from distant towns along with their wares.
