What do you call someone who doesn’t make travel guides?

Tourists who do not do any planning can be called "improvisational travelers" or "wandering travelers". They tend to travel more casually rather than planning and booking all their activities and arrangements in advance. Here are their choices for itinerary, transportation, and accommodation:

1. Itinerary: Impromptu travelers generally don’t tend to make detailed itineraries. They prefer to arrive at their destination and decide what to do based on local conditions and their own interests. They may prefer to explore local markets, street food, or random encounters rather than follow a predetermined plan.

2. Transportation: Impromptu travelers often choose more flexible transportation options. For example, they may prefer to use local public transportation (such as buses, subways, or trains), or rent a bicycle or motorcycle to explore their surroundings. Additionally, for longer distances, they may prefer to opt for car rental or ride-sharing services rather than purchasing air tickets or booking train tickets in advance.

3. Accommodation: Impromptu travelers may prefer to choose more economical and local accommodation options, such as hostels, B&Bs or local hotels. They may prefer to live somewhere where they can interact and mingle with locals rather than in a completely touristy area. Additionally, they may tend to book accommodation at the end of their trip rather than booking far in advance.

In general, non-travelers tend to travel in a more casual and impromptu way, and like to maintain an open and flexible attitude during the trip.
