American Vagabond®® is the Nation's pre-eminent website for U.S. citizens living in the eight countries of Central American and for those intending to live, visit or invest there. A unit of Vagabond Media LLC, American Vagabond® is the flagship site for a growing family of websites devoted to travel and tourism information.

Vagabond Media LLC, a Phoenix, Arizona based e-commerce investment firm, announced July 4, 2007 that it has launched AmericanVagabond.com®.  American Vagabond® is the world’s only website serving the needs of U.S. citizens residing in Mexico and the Central American countries of Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.  The site has also been designed to provide travel and tourism information and advice for people looking to visit, live, volunteer or invest in these countries.

Bill Deegan, Vagabond Media’s CEO, said American Vagabond® is positioned to be the “go to” information site for the American expatriate community, potential U.S. expatriates, as well as tourists and investors.  “We are seeing more and more U.S. citizens retire and invest in Mexico, Costa Rica and the six other Central American focus countries.  We are there to help serve their information needs”.

Brenda Saenz-Alvarado, American Vagabond®’s editor and a native and resident of Guatemala, added that American Vagabond® is also the pre-eminent on-line destination for travel and tourism information for people “looking to stay for a few days or forever”.

The company has secured advertising affiliations with several international companies including American Airlines, USAirways, Marriott and Hotels.com.

Vagabond Media LLC maintains significant equity interests in several “Vagabond” branded e-commerce websites currently under development.  The company also plans to introduce a line of casual clothing and fashion accessories under the Vagabond label.
