Rootless and Restless (Paperback)

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.
