    Note

    A verb built straight from the noun, meaning to travel as a tourist, and it takes no direct object. You go touristing around a city or through the villages, not touristing a city. The -ing form does double duty: after be it is progressive (we were touristing all week), and as a gerund it fills a noun's slot (touristing wears you out by the third day).
