The Healthy Voyager : MyBlogHer Profile

Carolyn Scott celebrated her 10 years as a vegan as well as an entrepreneur in 2009.  Carolyn moved to Los Angeles from sunny Miami to work in the film business in 1998 (what a surprise!) and got a bit sidetracked. She studied holistic nutrition shortly after becoming vegan for health as well as having dabbled in the culinary. Her responsible side got the best of her and following, what seemed to be, a more secure career path, she started her own business.

In 2003,Carolyn opened Ineventions, a pr & event planning firm, which she still operates although she has now added full film, tv and web production branch under the umbrella of her original business.  With the access and addition of the new business arm,Carolyn was able to start realizing her dream of traveling and eating all over the world and so the Healthy Voyager was born in 2005.

Carolyn had been an avid traveler even before she was vegan but she found it quite difficult to find vegan friendly restaurants abroad.  She tired of having to pack her own foods or eat bread,fries and junky foods when she was away. After realizing she could find and/or manipulate any menu to create a meal that satisfied her as well as her dining partners, she created the Healthy Voyager to show people that your dietary restrictions should not ruin you or your travel mates’ trip, be it business or pleasure.  She knew that many people must endure the same problems no matter what their diet may be from medical or ethical reasons to just wanting to keep slim. On each trip, Carolyn kept a log of every place she visited and began to post on her blog as a resource for the finickiest of travelers. She also realized it was a great resource for those who were traveling with others who did not share their special needs as her posts offered suggestions to restaurants that shared options for all types of foodies ; )

Carolyn has since traveled the world and found eateries in every city that has accommodated her special diet without sacrificing taste or the comfort of anyone she happened to be traveling with as well as herself.  As of 2006, she and her husband, of opposing gastronomic tastes, have traveled and dined healthily and harmoniously while documenting it all on film for the Healthy Voyager Web Series.
