Acerca del autor

Shivya Nath is a travel writer who grew up in the Indian Himalayas, and quit her corporate job at age 23 with a dream of travelling the world. She pursued a nomadic life for nearly seven years, living out of two bags, spending time with local and Indigenous communities. Her work focuses on the intersection of meaningful travel, climate action and social impact. In her first book, The Shooting Star: A girl, her backpack and the world (Penguin, 2018), Shivya documents her journey from the cubicle to a nomadic life, and from small town India to remote corners of the globe. It has sold over 20,000 copies to date. Her blog is read by nearly half a million people annually, and her words have appeared in BBC Travel, Lonely Planet, National Geographic Traveller, The Washington Post, Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast Traveller, among other leading publications. She has been featured by The Washington Post among travellers changing the way we think about the world, by National Geographic Traveller among travellers of colour smashing stereotypes, and in the BBC film, The Audacious, on living your best (sustainable) life. She is a recipient of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Awards. Shivya is the founder of Climate Conscious Travel, where she works on climate research and storytelling through the lens of travel. She also runs The Shooting Star Academy, where she offers impact storytelling courses and workshops for both urban and rural audiences. She has delivered talks on sustainable travel and climate action in tourism at national and international forums, including COP30, the ASEAN-India Forum, UN Tourism regional conferences and the World Community Tourism Summit. She holds a Master’s in Sustainability from Harvard University (DCE).
