🎧 My next guest grew up in the foothills of the Himalayas in India; she is the author of a bestselling travel memoir, the founder of Climate Conscious Travel and the sustainable travel blog ‘The Shooting Star’. In 2011, at the age of 23, Shivya Nath waved goodbye to a corporate job, sold her possessions and embarked on an adventure of a lifetime, sparked by her curious nature. For the next 7 years Shivya lived out of her bag, immersing herself in local communities from Guatemala to Uzbekistan; those experiences shaped her into a passionate advocate for slow, solo travel and community tourism.
