Gourt Home::Gourt :: Vagabond (person)
A vagabond is a (generally impoverished) itinerant person. Such people can be tramps, hobos or schnorrers.
A vagabond is a traveling person that does not have a home, just roams wherever they please.
Vagabonds are not bums, as bums are not known for traveling.
