What would you call a peron who walks about?

In the most wide-reaching form, that would be a Pedestrian.

'Perambulator' would also have the same meaning, but is somewhat archaic and could be confused with the device 'Perambulator', more commonly known as a 'Pram' or 'Baby Buggy' today.

One who specifically walks in the countryside for pleasure might be known as a 'Rambler'.

As the original poster mentions, there is also the Nomad, but this term implies a specific way of life wherein somebody has no fixed abode and lives by moving from one place to another, usually with some kind of portable accommodation such as a tent. It does not necessarily apply to somebody who merely walks as a means of transportation, but returns to the same home at night, and in fact some nomads do NOT walk, but travel by horse, camel, donkey or even car.
