Scott Rains is a pioneering figure in the graying of the Baby Boom generation.
As a young man, undeterred by the practical necessities of earning a living or saving for retirement, this intrepid romantic studied Linguistics to the level of bachelor's degree and studied Theology to the doctorate level. At the age of 18 he (involuntarily but permanently) adopted the sedentary position - long before the majority of his peers. His studies, profession, and innate wanderlust (Sagittarius) have put him in other compromising positions along multiple latitudes and longitudes.
The terrain of Dr. Rains' professional career is variegated. Equal parts high adventure and pilgrimage he has worked as a ranch hand, in social activism, in higher education, as an author, in technology education and in travel.
Drawing on these experiences Scott contributes articles, photography, research and advice in various online settings. He is an independent travel professional, a member of the industry's professional association, the Outside Sales Support Network (OSSN). As a travel agent he is hosted by <a href="http://www.aticket2travel.com">A Ticket to Travel</a href>
His personal motto is unrepentantly plagiarized: Navegar é preciso.
