I am correcting a paper for my 11ieme class regarding le participe présent. A girl wrote "maganisant", where she was meaning to say something like "to travel", but I cannot figure out what verbe she thought she was using!

Magasiner does seem to be the only one close to this. Magasiner is a verb used by the french in Quebec, but it is not used in France. There are many such differences between the French of Quebec and the French of France. Normally in French, they use "faire des courses" or in some cases they say "faire du shopping".

Magasiner can also mean to go shopping, which is a bit closer to travelling than storing is.
