Hello Friends, and Welcome to my Travel Blog!

Disclaimer: I do not use Ai to write any of my posts. Everything you find here is authentic information I have written based off of my firsthand experiences. Because human experience is better than computers.

My name is Scotti, and I have been living, working, and traveling abroad since I was 20 years old!

I graduated University in 2022 already with an entrepreneur mindset, starting my own small business in the cosmetics industry at age 18 and winning my college’s business week competition my senior year at age 20. But upon being given banker’s business cards and being told to give them a call if I “needed any loans,” I backed out of joining the corporate rat race. With confusion and fear, I decided to take some time off from working to travel abroad and search for internal guidance for my future going forward. One week into my international trip in Asia, I sat on the side of the road in Vietnam eating banh mi and canceled my return flight home. 

I’ve learned so much since then! Now, I want to use all of my firsthand experiences and knowledge to create a safe community to teach other women how to go abroad with confidence, whether that be working or traveling. It doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned traveler or looking to book your first trip abroad- join me on my adventures as I navigate life abroad!

“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel—as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them— wherever you go.”
