Emma Scattergood

Emma Scattergood is the author of the Bucket List Adventure Series and the voice behind darmatravels. Transported overland from England to Australia via Afghanistan and India before her first birthday, travel has shaped her life ever since.

Her memoirs blend humour, honesty and observation as she writes about long-term adventures shared with her husband, life after his accident, and navigating her own stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis in 2022. Through trains, cruises, road journeys and unexpected detours, her stories explore what happens when you keep saying yes to adventure, even when life changes course.

When not navigating foreign train stations or planning the next journey, Emma enjoys lawn bowls, strong coffee and embracing life’s unpredictable twists.
