öluffande


Definition from own experience or research:
När man reser runt från ö till ö, t.ex. i en skärgård som den grekiska, stannar till efter behag, ofta med ganska löst uppgjorda färdplaner, öppna för förändring, kallas det för öluffande.

Example sentence(s):
  • Oavsett om du väljer kittade charterpaket eller tärningsstyrt öluffande kan du ha nytta av Vagabond-gängets uppdaterade guidebok Greklands öar och Aten. - Resekoll.se  

Explanation:
Det snarlika uttrycket "båtluffa" behöver inte hänföra sig till att det är just öar som besöks; när man båtluffar kanske man besöker olika ställen längs en kust.

Den substantivform som torde vara lämpligast är just med ändelsen -ande, dvs. öluffande, alltså inte -ning.
