Vacilando

Encyclopedia : V : VA : VAC : Vacilando


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

John Steinbeck (in , 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."
