Nikki with one of the early copies of South East Asia Backpacker Magazine.

Backpacker Business – By Nikki Scott

The Must-Read Book for Backpackers to Southeast Asia

“This is an epic tale of voyaging out into the world alone, setting up a business in a foreign land, overcoming personal doubt, living what you love, making life an adventure, philosophy and dealing with a precious loved one passing. In short, Nikki is a legend. An all-around adventurer, able to get on with a raft of characters who you’ll meet along the way. A few parts story, a few parts fact, and a few parts philosophy, I really loved how this story was told. Thanks for ‘getting naked’ and baring your soul for us Nikki 🙂 Go on just read it!”  – Anna Cleal, Amazon Reviewer.
