by Nikki Scott (Illustrator), Nikki Scott

Join her as she discovers eye-opening ways of doing business in Southeast Asia, experiences anti-government riots in Bangkok, meets a host of quirky characters on the paradise island of Koh Phangan and deals with the tragic death of her father amidst a very foreign culture. This real life story is full of the highs and lows of pursuing an alternative path overseas. Follow Nikki's journey and be inspired to create your own unique adventure.

About the Author

Nikki Scott, originally from the north of England, started a career as an advertising executive in 2006. Quickly disillusioned with the corporate world, she left the UK only two years later to embark upon a solo-backpacking trip across Asia. This trip marked the beginning of the most important transition in Scott's life.

In 2009 she founded the first in a series of travel magazines, South East Asia Backpacker Magazine. Since then, she has lived on three continents and written extensively on travel as lifestyle, backpacker philosophy and the entrepreneurial spirit. Her book "Backpacker Business" tells of the adventures of running a business in Southeast Asia and shares some of the more personal challenges she's faced along the way. She currently lives in Barcelona, Spain with her boyfriend.
