Hello! My name is Zanita.

I’m a bit of a scavenger when it comes to finding out the things people do to spark up their life.

While I love the tales of those who have sailed the world and saved several lives, I’m even fonder of the tales humbly tucked away.

And I believe we’ve all got one or two to tell. That's where I come in - SCOUTING FOR STORIES!! Putting the everyday folk on the centre stage.

You don’t need a sash or a logbook of marching hours to be in my club. If you did something that brought a little bit of fun to this crazyinsaneworld, then you my friend deserve a badge (and a gold star if you did it for the good of others).

I hope they inspire you, bring a smile or create a warm spot in your heart. But most of all, I hope they encourage you to become a scout yourself and go search for those stories hidden behind new and old faces.

“I used to think my story was a liability because...I had low self-esteem. The fact that I have an accent, look the way I do, or don’t fit into groups was working against me. I wanted to run back home. But I realize now that your story is
So often we think of “being useful” (especially when the Dalai Lama says it) as feeding thousands and healing hundreds. These things are great, but our first acts of usefulness are usually close to home. To be useful can be as simple as a
