wanderluster
Restless globe seeker
A wanderluster is someone with a strong desire to travel and explore the world.
The word builds on wanderlust—the restless urge to wander—by adding the agent suffix to name the person who feels it: She's always been a wanderluster, happiest with a passport in hand.
