ABOUT ME

Shivya Nath

Hello! I’m Shivya Nath. In 2011, at age 23, I quit my corporate job with a dream of traveling the globe. For seven years, I lived out of two bags, seeking slow travel, community-centric experiences, and digital nomad adventures.

Some of my most cherished memories include travelling overland from the Persian Gulf via Iran to Armenia, living with a Mayan community in Guatemala, volunteering at a coral reef restoration project in Cuba, living in a nunnery in Ladakh, and shedding my inhibitions and clothes at onsens across Japan.

In 2022, I spent a life-changing month working on a sustainability initiative on the wild and remote Robinson Crusoe Island in Chile. Soon after, I decided it was time to hang up my nomadic boots, and work with the tourism industry on its sustainability journey.

Through this blog, I hope to inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and experience the world – meaningfully and consciously!

What I’m upto now

I spent 7 nomadic years travelling the world, living with local communities and writing stories at the intersection of travel, the environment and local communities. The pandemic was a time of reflection, and I now seek a lower footprint life close to nature.

I’m currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Sustainability at Harvard’s DCE, and recently founded Climate Conscious Travel – an impact consultancy committed to accelerating community-centric climate action in tourism.

I continue to share conscious and meaningful travel stories on Instagram, my monthly newsletter and on this blog.
