Over here in a pickup truck towing a travel trailer with a "For Sale" sign on it.
You can buy the trailer for only 2 twice what it cost because of a family emergency and he needs the money to get home. Sometimes you come across those Gypsy fortune tellers who have only been at that location for three generations.
In the old days here in the US the Romany and the Irish Horse Traders used to
get into fights, each claiming they were the real travelers, although the Irish
never admitted to being Gypseys. Come to think of it neither did the Romany...
Now as to the difference between a traveler and a tourist? If you are paying your own
way you are a tourist, if someone else is paying your way and you really would rather
be home you are a traveler <GRIN>. All other definitions are meer pretentions.
Strangely, as a guy who has always wanted to see what was around the next
curve, or over the next hill, one to whom the trip was always more interesting
than the destination, I have never called myself either one.
<Sigh!> These days I do not have the energy to walk (really the best way to go), nor
the money to go any other way... <Sigh!>
