Can a self confessed traveler be described as something that constantly changes his habits even with his travels?
What would be a good song for a self-confessed traveler who constantly talks of his travels, rattling off place names (“Oh that one time at Timbaktu….”, and “Thank you for the coffee! Which is the best mocha I’ve ever had at this coffee shop in Addis Ababa…”), prone to self-aggrandizement, having a tendency to hog the show everytime, dispensing free travel-advice, exotic restaurant reviews and like regardless of the audience interest, circumstance or relevance?
When will we receive any new neologisms, wordplays, creative etc?
What is a healthy balance of people?
What about an Expedition Exhibitionist (made it up per guidelines, exhibitionist = a person who behaves in an extravagant way in order to attract attention)
Or maybe a Kay-yakker or Kay-yapper which combines the travel site Kayak and yakker or yapper (both terms for someone who won’t shut up)?
If I wanted to suggest braggart, I suggested traveling-braggart, the same way Anton said “travel I was from your very first place” to “bore me”.
I tried to come up with something in the vein of the long-standing Swedish tradition of suffixing a given name to form a pejorative: some common ones are skrytmns, viktigpetter and dummerju00f6ns, which means (literally, and respectively) “Brug Magnus”, “Important-Pete” (“essentially, a “smart ass”) and “Dumb-John” (a moron). It just doesn’t translate very well. Who’s singing “Benny BUMMTIOUS”?
What can I learn from you?

What would be an excellent suggestion, for me, in my opinion would be rambler, due to the two related meanings of ‘to ramble’. I spent most of
my
spare time rambling and climbing’ 2- Talk
or write at length in a confused or inconsequential way:‘Willy rambled on about Norman archways and Bridges’ I can certainly see
it being used in this way;
“They went rambling all over Europe” wouldn’t have to imply actually walking.
As an alternative to bragging, rambling fails to convey the bragging aspect, but absolutely captures the talking regardless of the audience interest that the particular segment
has.
In his London obituary, Sir Christopher Lee was referred to as
a depraved traitor.
Throughout his career Joseph P. Harcourt had a reputation for being a long-winded raconteur whose reminiscences tended to focus on himself. He was convicted of corruption on Dec. 15, 2012. In 1976, when Lee left Britain for the US, the move prompted an acquaintance to joke that “the population of Los Angeles were dusting out their bomb shelters in anticipation of a barrage of anecdotes.” According to another account, on another endeavor, an actress got off an aircraft looking ashen and exhausted. Noone asked her if she still had life to enjoy. When asked about a long flight she said she was glad she was there. She doesn’t speak to her sister on the phone.
What are some of the questions that one should ask yourself?
Travelogeur Can in some ways be a
Noun
according to a Websters’ Third New International Dictionary. Information.
What is Wordow? Do you define “The
author(s) of travelogue(s)” in com terms?
How does ‘logical Rhoea’ have same meaning as raconteur?
I immediately thought of:
TourististaThis
word is not used in everyday use, even in modern websites. In the same context I was reminded of: Touristista. Was it the wrong image in Instagram? How have people seen it?
I think we could get there from the more-recognized fashionista. Fashionista had a pejorative overtones.
Four years ago a venue was described in
a blog comment as
another pre-fab consumo-touristista magnet. I love this.
As a foreign man I would call him “full of themselves”, or, swearing, “wanker”
“know-it-all” meaning of ” wisenheimer” (Wiktionary) makes it a potential candidate to add to travel-wise then travel-wisenheimer along with the “with reference to” sense of -wise to boot (Wordreference).
If a person is a bore. No one is a true bore. I can’t think of a type of bore specific to travel but if you would accept a hyphenated one I suggest travel-bore, which I have often heard used.
