What does the word Hedonomads mean?

Hedonomads is a portmanteau word coined from hedonism and nomad to refer to individuals who travel in search of pleasure and happiness.

The word hedonism comes from the ancient Greek word hedone (ἡδονή) which meant pleasure. It first appeared in English in the middle of the 19th century to refer to certain ancient Greek philosophical doctrines which held that pleasure is the most important aim of human life. Today, by a hedonistic lifestyle, we mean a way of life which stresses the importance of pleasure and happiness.
