wanderer for whom the experience of travel is more important than travelling for the purpose of reaching a destination.

John Steinbeck (in Travels With Charley: In Search of America, 1962) wrote:

"In Spanish there is a word for which I can't find a counterword in English. It is the verb vacilar, present participle vacilando. It does not mean vacillating at all. If one is vacilando, he is going somewhere, but does not greatly care whether or not he gets there, although he has direction. Everything in the world must have a design or the human mind rejects it. But in addition, it must have purpose or the human conscience shies away from it."

Vacilar or vacilando in Brazil (Rio de janeiro's street slang) means not to have the right reaction at the right time or do the wrong thing at the wrong time. A vacilao is somebody who is always doing something wrong.
