On assignment for Lonely Planet and Fodor's, Scott's been chased by bandits in Honduras, kidnapped by kind-hearted hoteliers in Morocco, nearly lost (in the permanent sense) in post-revolutionary Romania, rescued by little kids on a remote Himalayan mountain, and frequently mistaken for an American spy in the teahouses of Istanbul.
