A bardic name is a pseudonym used, in Wales, by poets and other artists, especially those involved in the eisteddfod movement. The term bard originally referred to minstrels and poets of the middle ages, who might be itinerant or attached to a wealthy household.

Tramp has a number of meanings: A tramp is an itinerant who travels from place to place, traditionally tramping, that is, walking. While they may do odd jobs from time to time, tramps aren't looking for regular work and support themselves by other means i.e. begging or scavenging. This is in contrast to hobos who travel from place to place (often by catching rides on freight trains) looking for work, or schnorrers, who travel from city to city begging. Both the terms tramp and hobo (and the distinctio

The Broch is an Iron Age round tower fortification type unique to Scotland. The origin of brochs remains a mystery. Some archaeologists believed the brochs were built by an influx of broch builders who had been displaced and pushed northward during the Roman invasion of Britain. However, this theory has been largely disproven and current thought is that they were built by itinerant (travelling) craftsmen since so many were built to almost the same exact design. The youngest surviving broch at Mousa dates from 100BC to 100AD wit ...

Villard de Honnecourt was possibly a 13th century itinerant master-builder of Picardy in northern France, whose surviving portfolio of drawings (ca 1230s?) is in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris (MS Fr 19093).

Villiard apparently travelled through many of the cathedral building-sites in 13th century Fr ...

A vagrant is a person, almost always poor, without a home or regular work. Urban vagrants are commonly called "street people". Some towns have shelters for vagrants, such as The Rescue Mission in Syracuse, New York. Older terms for vagrants are tramp (or in the USA, bum) or hobo. Such designations, however, tend to be associated with itinerant male rural vagrants of the past, rather than the modern pattern of the urban homeless of either sex. Vagrancy is a crime in some European countries, but most of these laws h ...

Alice Springs is best-known outside the region from the title of the Nevil Shute novel A Town Like Alice, even though little of the story takes place in Alice Springs, and because of its proximity to Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, the monolithic rock that is one of Australia's best-known natural landmarks and an important focus of Aboriginal culture. Originally named Stuart, the town was established almost as a frontier settlement for north-south travel by camel trains through the desert of the outback. A telegraph station wa ...

The primary reason for tourism to Alice Springs had been its proximity to Uluru, which is 400 km to the west. However, with the creation of Yulara resort in 1984, and an airport allowing tourists to fly directly to Yulara, many tourists no longer visit Alice Springs. Alice Springs had also been used by many Australian tourists as a stopover point between Darwin and Adelaide or Brisbane and Perth, but th ...
