Over the last decade as a travel feature writer, he has also written about culture, nightlife, restaurants, and history for destinations as diverse as Argentina, New York, London, Hawaii, The Yukon, Central Europe, and Italy.

Scott has also written extensively for British television - including Universal Networks (Sci-Fi UK and the Studio Channel), FX TV UK, and Channel 5 (for North One TV).
