Pure. Happy. Travel. is a blog about the world, curiosity, and living the good life wherever you go. The stories you’ll find here are written with go-lucky enthusiasm and a “bring a good time with you” sensibility. If we don’t have fun, we don’t publish it. (But we always have fun.)
Pure. Happy. Travel.‘s editor-in-chief is Annie Scott, a.k.a. Annie Scott Riley, an award winning freelance writer/editor with expertise in travel, luxury, style and social media. Her writing and photography are available on AOL Travel, StyleList, Luxist, Gadling, Tonic, Holidash, Slashfood, Viator, Jetsetter and all over the internet, as well as publications such as Destination Weddings & Honeymoons magazine. Annie has made appearances as a travel writer on WCCO TV and NBC New York’s Backyard Travel. Her neverending stream of for-fun projects include Blasé Mannequins and @DoWhatITellYou, for which she received a Shorty Award. After many years in New York, Annie recently returned to her hometown of Minneapolis with her husband and two cats. She works in social media by day, writes by night, and travels as often as possible.
