We often run out of words on what to say. It also happens when we talk about travel lovers or want to impress our nomadic friends. Are you tired of using the same old words? If so, today’s fun post is for you.
Do you know what a person is called who loves to travel? Travel lover. Yes, but we all know that, and besides, that’s two words, not a one word noun.
Words for Travel Lovers
How about “Hodophile”. If you are saying, “what, a hodophile!” Yes, a hodophile is a person who loves to travel. Now, that’s certainly going to grab your friends’ attention next time you talk to them.
Below are the top 10 simple to pronounce words you should start using to enhance your regular travel vocabulary.
These are nothing like out-of-the-tongue kinda words but refreshing synonyms one should add to their day to day vocabulary.
Globetrotter
Do you know anyone who loves to hop between countries? Or anyone who is a hardcore traveler? Anyone who leaves their tiny footprints across the various continents? Globetrotter is what you call them, and Globetrotting is their religion.
Itinerant
Few of us hate staying in one place. We are people of many lands who live to travel. Itinerant is an apt word for travel lovers who have got a gypsy soul.

Roadie
Many times we say, let’s hit the road! That is exactly what roadies do, but they accompany bands or musicians and travel in a group. In recent time though, the term has become more generalized and biking groups can be also called Roadies.
Rover
Wandering around might get old after a few days, why not use roving around for a change? Become a Rover aka Travel Lover. 🙂

Wayfarer
“Catch flights, not feelings” is what the quote says, but what about after you get off the plane? Hop on a car, and move to your hotel, then what?
You need to walk around and discover the destination. All travel lovers are wayfarers in a way.

Vagabond
Nothing is permanent. And this world is massive to just live in a corner. People who make any place their home are in reality the Vagabonds – the daring nomads, adventurers, and travel lovers.
Also, you might have heard this quote from Saint Augustine of Hippo: “The World is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
Solivagant
Traveling alone is empowering. And when you are brave enough to take on the roads yourself you become a Solivagant. Wandering alone is an unadulterated bliss which travel lovers should try once.

Travel Buff
Wisdom comes from experience and those who are travelers amass knowledge through traveling. That is what makes them the travel-buffs.
Hodophile
You don’t need an explanation for this word. It is as perfect as it comes. Hodophile – the very word for travel lovers. A Hodophile is “One who loves to travel.”
Grey Nomad
In Australia, a retired old man traveling in a motorhome or caravan is named as Grey Nomad. But why just use it in the context of an old man?
Nowadays the travel lovers who live a nomadic life are often called “Grey Nomads.” (They may or may not have grey hairs though, Lol!)

Hello World.
Soon I am planning to start a vlog channel on YouTube. As I like to travel alot.
But I am bit confused for selecting the name of my Channel.
I have some ideas like:
Roam with Abhi
Rover Abhi
The Abhishek Shukla
Can anyone give me suggestions about name?
I will be very grateful.
Thank you❤️💜
Rover Abhi l, I felt this is good 😊
Sir I shall be starting a Travel blog soon….need your suggession from you for name. Uncommon sweet short name with one or two words
Hi Samiran, that is wonderful! If you are planning to share your own travel stories, then keep the name of the blog as your own name, so it has a personal touch to it. For example, Samiran’s Travel Tales, Samiran Travels, Samiran’s Journey, Samiran on the Move, Samriran’s Adventure, etc. Also, you can research into broader themes such as: Tales from my Travels, Travel Tales, Lost Somewhere, Nomad Samiran, To Nowhere and Everywhere, Born to Travel, Exploring Planet Earth, Travel Muse, Lost Somewhere, etc. Hope these words and themes help you find a unique yet catchy name. Good luck and all the best!
I used to read pieces of writing in newspapers but now as I am a user of the web therefore from now, I am using the net for finding new articles, thanks to web.
