Tramp

A tramp is a person who travels from place to place, often on foot or by hitchhiking, without a permanent home or steady job. Historically, the term referred to wandering workers or homeless individuals seeking work or simply exploring different locations. Tramps typically live transient lifestyles, relying on chance, community support, or temporary work. While sometimes mistaken for "homeless," tramps focus more on mobility and travel rather than lack of shelter. The term has cultural associations with a rugged, adventurous way of life, but can also carry historical connotations of economic hardship.
