A vagabond travels from place to place with no fixed home, often by choice rather than circumstance.
means A person who roams from place to place with no fixed home, often by inclination rather than misfortune.
from From Latin vagari, 'to wander,' via Old French vagabond — the root vagus ('wandering, undefined') also gives us 'vague.' It entered English in the 14th century already carrying a faint whiff of judgment: the law books used it for wanderers without visible means of support, half description, half accusation.
