itinerant can be used as an adjective or a noun. It means traveling from place to place a lot. It is often used to describe work or workers "itinerant labor" or "itinerant workers".

For example, "A lot of the farm work in North America is done by itenerant workers".(The workers travel from one farm to another farm and stay for a short time only).

I think it's less common but correct to use as a noun "He is an itinerant." (He travels around a lot, probably for work).

Another related word you might know is itinerary (noun) which is also related to travel. "You're going to Europe next month? What is your itinerary?" (What is your travel route/ schedule/ plan.)
