Flâneur
- One who strolls aimlessly
- An idle, gossiping saunterer
- An affluent urban male walking the city without agenda
- Connoisseur of the street
I was introduced to the idea of a flâneur by Nassim Taleb in his book Anti-fragile (and his subsequent tweets about flaneuring around New York).
Although I am by no means a flâneur, I am trying to do this more, walking without an agenda or destination; it is quite a challenge for my type A personality.
