wandering soul
Nomad without home
A wandering soul is someone who drifts through life without settling—moving from place to place, job to job, or pursuit to pursuit.
The phrase suggests restlessness rather than aimlessness: He was a wandering soul who never stayed anywhere longer than a season.
In spiritual contexts, it may refer to a ghost or spirit that hasn't found peace, roaming between worlds.
