In the Middle Ages people didn't travel around much. The people in one village might just have visited the next village for a festival or celebration, but mostly they stayed in their village.

Officials would visit, like tax collectors, from the regional lord. There were also traveling minstrels who sang ballads of everyday happenings. This is how many people heard the latest news. There were also traveling salesmen, called peddlers, and other tradespeople like knife-sharpeners and tinkers, who would repair saucepans. And there were traveling preachers.
