After working and saving, Scott took a leave of absence from undergraduate studies, sailing some 5,000 miles on a 17 ft. sloop-rig catboat and then back-packing through Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Over the course of several years he visited some 48 countries—chronicling and photographing life as he saw it, including poverty, oppression and dysfunction.
