1Pe 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Peter, and apostle of Jesus Christ, to the (Jews who are scattered in Gentile nations) scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asian, and Bithynia.
Galatia - A province of Asia Minor - A couple of references:
Paul had met Timothy at this time (Acts 16:1-5) which they had went about teaching them what decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem. Afterward they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia (Acts 16:6).
After Paul spending some time in Caesarea, he gone up an greets the church, he went down to Antioch, after he had spent some time there, he departed and went over the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order strengthening all the disciples (Acts 18:18-23.)
Paul writing to the Corinthians in his first letter wrote to them saying "Now concerning the collections for the saints, as I have given orders to the Churches of Galatia, so you must also do: (1 Corinthians 6:1-4).
Concerning Asia - A district of Asia Minor
At the day of Pentecost when everyone was able to hear their own nationality by the Holy Spirit one of those nationalities was Asia (Acts 2:9). Peter also had spoken on this day which was spoken up on that day speaking of the Prophet Joel, which as the initiation of the last days being upon them. (Acts 2:14-39)
Paul mentions in his first letter during his final notions: One being "The Churches of Asia greet you. Aquilla and Priscilla pretty you heartily in the LORD, with the church that is in their house. (1 Corinthians 16:19-24)
It seems to me some time had passed here, that there had been set up in a house perhaps there in Asia, which is most versions of the Bible are called Churches.
Churches and the greek word which it is translated from is
Which was simply put an assembly where people would gather together and meet, and it did not need to be always a "brick and mortar church" in which there are countless thousands created, and attended through out here in the country of America.
Paul mentions the trouble which he came to them in Asia saying in the 2nd letter of Corinthians; For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. (2 Corinthians 1:8-11) There was a lot of trouble going on when Paul had traveled in and out of that region of Asia, as you can see here.
Paul mentions Asia one more time in his second more personal letter to Timothy, who traveled with him, (2 Timothy 1:15) This you (Timothy) I know that all those in Asia turned away from me among whom are Phygellius, and Hermogenes.
The very last and final mention of Asia that I am aware of is in John the Apostles Revelation of Jesus Christ, which he was told to write to the seven churches of Asia which were in Asia Minor now called modern day Turkey. (Revelation 1:4)
Peter was a fisherman, who's brothers name was Andrew. Peters first name was Simon. Yeshua walking along the Sea of Galilee called both to follow him and they did. (Matthew 4:18-20)
Both of these brothers were Jewish. Yeshua also changed Simon (Peter), name when he confessed that Yeshua was the Christ. Which the Lord said "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hell/Hades shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:16-20)
Peter is the writer of this Epistle, he identifies himself as an Apostle, greek word: apostolos - a delegate, specifically and an ambassador of the Gopsel; officially a commissioner of Christ. This would signify that Peter is an a commissioner of Christ, who had learned from the Lord Yeshua, and he had apostolic authority in that day in age.

1Pe 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Here in the KJV, it reads to the strangers scattered,
In the NKJV, it reads to the pilgrims of the Dispersion.
There are some other scriptures from John 7:35, which talks about Jews who from time to time had been scattered among the Gentiles; Later with to Jews, so "scattered," who had professed or actually embraced, the Christian faith "the Dispersion" James 1:1. In the Septuagint of Israelites, "Scattered" and exiled, seen in here in the below verses.
Deu 28:25 “The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them; and you shall become troublesome to all the kingdoms of the earth.
Deu 30:4 If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you.
(And interesting context about gathering here above)
Nehemiah 1:9 but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.’
All of these scripture relate to scattering, and some seemingly gathering. It all relates to those in the shared scripture 1 Peter 1:1 - of those whom were scattered through the Dispora among the surround nations which were the Jewish people who were scattered aboard, living among the Gentile nations, and Peter is writing to encourage them, out there whom are scattered, just as James does writing to the twelve tribes scattered abroad.
