In this episode Christina welcomes Shivya Nath, a traveler, storyteller and author who has been sharing her experiences and thoughtful perspective on the world since she ditched her corporate job and struck out on her own more than ten years ago.

Since then, Shivya has visited more than 60 countries, and has both published her bestselling travel memoir, The Shooting Star, and launched The Shooting Star Academy, a course that teaches people how to tell stories through travel that make a positive impact.

In the episode, Shivya - a gentle soul and a wanderer at heart - shares about her work as a travel writer, how an early career stop working with the Singapore Tourism Board helped inform her professional trajectory, and how her family has taken time to become accustomed to her chosen lifestyle.

As someone who travels a lot she also offers frank thoughts on climate change, and the role of travel media in helping educate and shed light on solutions.
