- V!VA Travel Guides
Initially intending to just pass through Ecuador on his year-long sojourn across the world, Tom Raven Scroft decided to set up camp in Quito as an intern in the V!VA office... at least for the time being. From Venezuela to Brazil, around Argentina, Paraguay, Uraguay and Colombia, Tom's wanderlust has brought him backpacking through South America and soon on to New Zealand, Asian places, other pretentious countries, and Russia. The bus-riding, map-reading, hostel-staying skills Tom brings to V!VA are unmatched, as he has guidebooked around the globe, spending six months in Australia, six months in Central America, one in Eastern Europe, and made multiple trips to the States and Western Europe. Tom has a Master's degree in History of Architecture from the University of Edinburgh. He is English. Thus he says words like "knackered" and "rubbish" and drinks so much black tea it's unreal.
