In 1977 Star Wars premiered, Elvis died and Scott Kennedy was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. In the thirty-three years since, Scott has kept himself pretty busy. Bouncing around the globe from one adventure to another. Scott knew from an early age that nine to five work wasn't going to be his cup of tea. After brief stints of packing grocery shelves and folding t-shirts and an even quicker stop at a pesticide factory (the chemical weapons plant and uranium mine weren't hiring) it was time to go the way of the freelancer. Along the way Scott picked up diploma's in both Outdoor Pursuits from Mount Royal College in Calgary and Journalism from The Western Academy of Photography in Victoria, BC.
Scott now splits his time between his passions: writing, photography, filmmaking and going on adventures. Scott's writing and photography has appeared in several national and international publications, dealing with a variety of subject matter from outdoor adventure, politics, music, film, art and everything in between. As a writer Scott has travelled the globe writing stories about his adventures. Scott chiefly works for Lonely Planet where he writes guidebooks and travel stories for their website. As a filmmaker Scott has made short films for Lonely Planet and numerous personal projects dealing with his favourite subject: adventure.
As an adventurer Scott has travelled the world in search of the next great adventure. He's ridden his bike from Cairo, Egypt to Khartoum, Sudan. He's climbed some of the highest mountains in both the Canadian Rockies and the New Zealand Alps. He's run marathons, ultra-marathons, and adventure races. He's ski's steep lines, rides big waves, scuba dive's, rock climbs and loves to have a great time in the outdoors.
In between all of this fun Scott manages to squeeze in some time for the odd day of fly fishing, ice hockey game and trip to the beach. Scott lives in Queenstown, New Zealand with his wife Sophie.
