Rootless and Restless is an intimate exploration of human and environmental connections in remote parts of the world. In this deeply personal travel memoir, Shivya Nath travels to far-flung corners of the globe, seeking local ways of life on one of the world’s remotest islands off the coast of Chile, in off-the-map Indigenous communities in Myanmar, and in the mountain deserts of Uzbekistan. Along the way, she finds herself caught in a morality police raid in Iran, learns about ancient culinary traditions in Japan, and comes face-to-face with the last living member of an entire species in the Pacific Ocean. In the age of social media, cultural fragmentation and climate change, she draws inspiration from the resilience of local communities, and learns about the power of conscious travel to change not just the places and people we visit, but also something deep within us.

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.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What happens when you leave behind the familiar and follow your curiosity to far corners of the world? In Rootless and Restless, Shivya Nath trades comfort for adventure and sets off on a deeply personal journey to some of our planets most remote places. From a tiny island deep in the Arctic to off-grid Indigenous communities in Myanmar and the stark mountain deserts of Uzbekistan, she travels in search of stories, traditions and ways of life that are rarely written about. Along the way, Shivya finds herself tangled in a morality police raid in Iran, discovering centuries-old traditions in Japan and coming face-to-face with the last living member of an entire species in the Pacific Ocean. In a world shaped by social media, cultural divides and climate change, Rootless and Restless is a reminder that travel can be more than ticking destinations off a list. It can open doors to remarkable people, unexpected lessons and perhaps even transform the traveller herself.
