Scott’s Adventures
What is adventure? An adventure is similar to an exploration or a feat of endurance, but an adventure has the connotation of being poorly planned. In a way, all of life is a poorly planned adventure, where we play with the mysteries, dance on the edge of the unknown and push the boundaries of what it means to be human.
These are stories of Scott’s adventures through life, like riding a bicycle around the world, being the Cultural Ambassador to Argentina and… hopefully, many more, big and small. I invite you along for the ride as I explore the inner and outer world and learn to become a better person.

Adventure Updates
There are many steps to completing any adventure.
Below are stories from the road, and some stories about stories. Yes, writing a book is an adventure and a hard one — it requires one to bare their soul, which I think is harder than facing the bears.

Archaeologist for day and a lifetime!
I went on an archaeological dig uncovering the history of the Hopewell Native American Culture. The dig also dug some memories of my great-grandmother and old childhood fear that I finally get to lay to rest.
The Tree of Lost Soles
The perfect vacation versus the unexpected adventure. It’s the irony of being a travel author: on the one hand, I want an adventure; on the other, I want safety and comfort and lots of umbrella drinks and fish tacos.
Survivor Audition Tapes
My audition tapes for the Survivor TV show including eating a tarantula, a never-before-seen strategy, and funny excerpts from my 2008 handwritten application.

Scott applies to be a crew candidate for the dearMoon project to fly to the moon and back aboard the SpaceX Starship as one of the first space tourists.
Visit Mars from your Backyard
You can visit Mars right from your own home or backyard in more ways than one. Yes! Seriously.
How do you plan for the weather?
Weather and climate: two slightly different things that are the second most important factor when planning your travels.
My Bollywood debut as a backup dancer
My debut video as a backup dancer in a Bollywood blockbuster movie. This is the catchy song “Mohabbat Hai Mirchi” from the movie “Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne.”
