A bohemian drifter is more or less a skilled wanderer, relying on instinct and social contacts rather than sheer survivalism. They are different from the average vagabond, preferring to travel from settlement to settlement than simply residing in nature. A bohemian drifter enjoy civilization and it luxury but never stay in a particular place for any length. This trait make them perfect for adventurers, preferring not to make permanent attachment when possible and leaving everything they had behind when it time to move on.
