The Vagabond Project is a free membership-based website that hosts
a collection of webisode series about eclectic, international travel
experiences focused around Gen-Y subcultures such as adventure,
art, music, sustainability, architecture, theater, technology, nightlife,
food, fashion, bicycles, people and lifestyles. The Vagabond Project is
non- critical, apolitical and curates a showcase of positive attributes of
a given culture or country. It is The Vagabond Project's mission to
inspire and share the world through new, unconventional perspectives
via webisodes. The Vagabond Project is committed to being a cultural
entity built upon authenticity, originality, creativity and honesty that
creates opportunities for the Gen-Y community to engage in
international culture.

The Vagabond Project was founded by Courtney Haefner and Brian Arcese in 2011. Their concept was simple yet innovative, to bridge the gap between young influencers and global minded organizations. Passionate about curating worldly experiences rooted in Gen-Y subcultures, Courtney and Brian have teamed up to evolve the way the Gen-Yers discover prospective travel destinations.

Brian holds a background in international investments and has been an avid traveler since graduating from Middlebury College. As a graduate of The University of St. Thomas, Courtney has been involved in several small start-ups in both Minnesota and New York City, and has a strong passion for social media and youth consumer trends. Brian will act as a sounding board, while Courtney will manage the project on a daily basis.

The future of The Vagabond Project is bright, working with Boards of Tourism and forward-thinking global organizations that are digitally driven and eager to be pioneers in travel-based viral video. Currently, The Vagabond team is in its development phase for the pilot series featuring China, which is primarily focused around Hong Kong & Beijing.
