ABOUT ME

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.

New Course

I’ve taken all my learnings over the past 10 years to build a self-paced course that’ll give you the strategies and mindset to find success as a travel storyteller – and have a positive impact on the world in the process!
