Um - today we call them snowbirds.........
Vagabonds and Wanderers, or drifters all have a suggestion of impoverishment. The Scots had a word for people who couldn't stay in one place, but it was not pejorative. You could be rich or you could be poor, but if you had an itchy foot, you were referred to as 'fiddlefooted'

Peripatetic is my favourite as well and it comes from the Greek "peripato" meaning "I walk". Even in modern Greek the word peripatos means a short, pleasant walk.
