@shivya Just start reading ' Rootless and Restless ' and loving every page. The fact that it starts with Iran is such a great coincidence.

'When I sniffed trouble, my inner voice still chided me, asking, Are you crazy? Uzbekistan was no different, and with an unpleasant encounter on the very first day in the country, that inner voice grew bolder.' scroll.in/article/1092436/tr…
Shivya Nath retweeted
From remote Arctic islands and Indigenous communities in Myanmar to the mountain deserts of Uzbekistan, @shivya journeys through extraordinary landscapes and cultures in search of stories that often go untold.

"For author and travel storyteller @shivya , travel is less about collecting stamps on a passport and more about building meaningful human connections."

"Over the past several years of travelling solo, I have devised plenty of ways to protect myself as a woman on the road. Choosing to stay with a local family in a small homestay or guest house was one."

When I almost wanted to give up on writing and travel blogging, @shivya’s mentorship through her course helped me find my way back.
Here's about my personal journey of that transformation - thegypsychiring.com/travel-b…

What a delightful conversation I had with @shivya !
Happy to share the first episode from Season 2 of my podcast.
If you care about environment, slow & responsible travel and stories of connection in general - it is a treat.

Travel is not always about ticking destinations off a list. Sometimes, it’s about slowing down enough for a place to stay with you forever.
On the latest episode of Booked on India Today, @suyeshasavant spoke to author and travel storyteller @shivya about her book 'Rootless and Restless' — a deeply moving exploration of travel, identity, climate consciousness, slow living and shared humanity. From singing Bollywood songs under the stars in Uzbekistan to navigating Iran’s moral policing, from travelling through Myanmar by land to living on a remote island off Chile — this conversation goes far beyond tourism.

“Travel is not about seeing more places. It’s about feeling more deeply.” On Booked, India Today’s @suyeshasavant spoke to @shivya about her latest book, 'Rootless and Restless', her journeys through Iran, Myanmar, Uzbekistan & beyond, and why slow, conscious travel matters more than ever.

NEW: Over the past 1.5 months in Bali, I sought quiet places, asked locals how they feel about the explosion of tourism on their island, and learnt about life in Bali beyond the beaten path.
