The word for today is…

itinerant (adjective)

– : traveling from place to place

Source : Merriam -Webster

Etymology : In Latin, iter means “way” or “journey.” That root was the parent of the Late Latin verb itinerari, meaning “to journey.” It was that verb which ultimately gave rise to today’s English word for traveling types: “itinerant.” The linguistic grandsire, “iter,” also contributed to the development of other words in our vocabulary, including “itinerary” (“the route of a journey” and “the plan made for a journey”) and “errant” (“traveling or given to traveling”).
