Transforming Travel for the Better—
One Trip at a Time

We get it.

You want more from your next journey.

You’re tired of spending your hard-earned vacation days on trips that over-promise and under-deliver. You’re done with superficial tours, overcrowded attractions, and experiences that feel overly sanitized or mass-marketed.

Instead, you long for authentic adventures—meaningful journeys that allow you to connect deeply with locals, create lifelong friendships, and truly understand the places you visit. You want travel that transforms.

I’m Andrew Scott, lifelong traveler, educator, and passionate advocate for genuine, culturally-rich experiences.

Having explored the globe extensively, I’ve lived the disconnect between what travelers genuinely crave and what’s typically offered.

Yet, I’ve also seen firsthand the extraordinary power of authentic travel—the kind filled with spontaneous moments, genuine human connections, and life-changing insights.

That’s why I founded Authentic Traveling.

Our mission is simple: to empower travelers like you with practical insights, inspiring guidance, and proven strategies for deeper, more transformative travel experiences.

Drawing on my own experiences and those of hundreds of local experts and seasoned travelers worldwide, we’ve created a collection of free, practical resources designed to help you plan smarter, immerse fully, and return home inspired.

We believe meaningful travel should be accessible to everyone. And we’re building a global movement of travelers who share this vision—travelers who seek real connections, cultural immersion, and lasting personal growth.

You deserve to have your next trip be your best yet. Together, let’s make authentic, transformative travel the norm—not the exception.

We can’t wait to help you travel better.

Warmly,

Andrew Scott
