After making waves as an eCommerce pioneer during the dot-com boom of the '90s and '00s, Scott decided the only surfing he wanted to do was on the actual ocean. He’s been blogging about his nautical adventures since 2005, transforming into a full-time professional vacationer. Over the last two decades, he's racked up nearly a quarter-million nautical miles, conquered almost every ocean cruise line, explored 50+ different ships, and spent hundreds of nights on mattresses that, quite frankly, could have used a pillow-top.
