Dear reader,
I’m so glad my second book, Rootless and Restless, found its way into your life. The world feels heavy right now, and there is perhaps no better time to remember our shared humanity.
From Rwanda to Peru, my adventures continue to teach me about the power of slow, conscious travel. I hope to stay connected and keep sharing this journey with you!
Love,
Shivya

My first book: The Shooting Star
My first book, The Shooting Star, charts my battles and adventures from the cubicle to the road, and from small-town India to faraway corners of the globe. I write about my quest for freedom, personal relationships and how I tried to conquer my deepest fears.
