ligera or descarriada or sin rumbo Explanation: Ligera includes any possible meaning contained in traipsing, with a slight but not exclusive reference to amorous affairs. If you want to underline this connotation or otherwise refer to loose morals, use descarriada. For a neutral expression, sin rumbo could be the choice. All three are quite poetic/literary.
