Can you go around the earth if you can float above as the earth rotates?

Gravity would keep you in place if you were just hanging there. Without gravity you would have nothing to keep you in place and you probably would be able to simply hover and 'travel the world' as the planet rotated.

No, because the rotational speed of the Earth is much faster than most objects can travel. Even if you could float above the Earth's surface, you would still be moving at the same rotational speed as the planet. To complete a full orbit around the Earth, you would need to travel faster than the rotational speed, which is not possible by simply floating.
