Scott Simmons

Welcome aboard everyone! Scott joins this voyage with a deep appreciation for Alaska’s breathtaking landscapes and seascapes. For the past 35 years, he has been captivated by the region—from the mountains and rivers of the Brooks Range to Bristol Bay and Iliamna Lake, and from Southcentral to Southeast Alaska. Whether it's a backyard day trip, a dive in Kachemak Bay, or a multi-week interior river expedition, Scott finds endless wonder in the vastness of this country and sea.

 

One of Scott’s favorite aspects of Alaskan life is harvesting and processing the abundance of fresh wild foods. His pantry reflects the seasons: spring shoots from forests and fields, summer seaweeds and fish, and autumn berries, mushrooms, and wild game.

 

Beyond Alaska, Scott enjoys exploring other parts of the world. The southern Appalachians and northern Blue Ridge Mountains are favorite destinations for canoeing and biking adventures. He is also drawn to the diverse cultures and cuisines of Mexico, which continue to fascinate him and inspire his travels. Achieving fluency in Spanish is one of his personal goals. Scott looks forward to sharing experiences, adventures, insights, revelations, meals, and laughter with fellow travelers.

Gran Vida!
