Roaming about

Where were you roaming about?

Is the sentence grammatically correct? What's the natural way to say this?

Thanks.

The given sentence is understandable, but the word "roaming" can have negative connotations, and is rarely used in everyday speech (in the US). You'd more likely hear: Where were you? Where've you been?
