Bitten by the travel bug as a preschooler when her family moved abroad for the first time, Sage Scott is addicted to travel. From her nomadic upbringing in a military family to her personal and professional travels as an adult, Sage has visited all 50 states, lived abroad twice, and explored more than 30 countries.
Now settled in America’s Heartland, Sage writes with a midlife traveler’s perspective from Kansas City — the Midwestern cowtown affectionately called Paris of the Plains and the undisputed Barbecue Capital of the World — and is always in search of new experiences and photo opportunities, whether in her hometown or halfway around the world.
