The French use the word 'globe-trotter'. There was even a 1960's TV series called Les Globe-trotters starring Yves Rénier and Edward Meeks. I would say that the plots were exactly the same as in Route 66, except that they happened all over the world. | 7 | |
'Puteshestvennik' in Russian? Although that could just be 'traveller'. | 8 | |
Obieżyświat - Polish | 9 | |

There's a nice word from old Turkish (presumably it was used in Farsi first): seyyah-ı âlem | 12 | |
Yeah, you can use that interchangably. | 13 | |
Wereldreiziger (world traveller) in Dutch, but "globetrotter" (pronounced as if it were of Dutch origin) is used too. | 14 | |
In Danish they just use "globetrotter"now. An older Danish word is "jordomrejser", which can mean "globetrotter" or just "round the world trip" | 15 | |
