A rambler is someone who wanders — literally or figuratively. In the UK it refers to a recreational hiker who stomps through countryside trails on weekends. In more poetic American slang, it describes a drifter or free spirit who can't stay put — always moving city to city, relationship to relationship, never quite settling down. The word carries a certain romanticized restlessness, like someone built for the road rather than the routine.
Don't wait up for Marco — he's a total rambler, probably halfway across the country by now.
