Autorenporträt
Robert Scott was born and raised in England. He did his military service in Cyprus and migrated to Australia while still in his twenties. Between many jobs, he engaged in a lot of shoestring-budget travelling, including long overland trips (Sydney to London and England to India et cetera).Now that Robert is seriously middle-aged and spectacularly poor, he travels mainly in his mind. He lives in Sydney.
