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.
