visa run

Stepping back then back again in a country over a short period of time (ie same day) - in order to reset/extend the period of days a non-resident can stay in a country.

Most foreign visitors to Thailand are granted a 30 day visa on arrival in Thailand. Staying longer requires a new visa, and the fastest & most economical means of getting it is a visa run: exit Thailand and return.

scanner

people with a very big variety of interests (jacks of all trades, polymaths etc) often to the point that they don't know what to choose as they don't want to give up their other interests

Jim has tried this and that but still hasn't decided on a clear path, he is, I guess, what you call a scanner. Sadly, he's in his early thirties.
