Ever thought of leaving your home and living a nomad life, where you don’t have to think where to go next……? Today, I will share the story of a girl who did this in real life. Well amazed aren’t you? Come-on and get ready as I take you on a journey of an award-winning travel blogger, who is none other Shivya Nath, who passed on her corporate life because of her love for travel.
Shivya is a digital nomad, writer and a successful blogger. She comes from a protective Indian family in Dehradun. Being from the valley, she spent her childhood in the mounts. After finishing high school, Nath left the country and went to Singapore to study further with her big dreams. She graduated in 2009 when the world was perishing through the financial recession and most of the companies which she wanted to work for had ceased their hiring. She somehow landed a job with the ‘Singapore Tourism Board’ where her experiments with social media began, and she started following the journey of various travel bloggers around the world. The cubicle life never fascinated Nath.
She took a 2-month sabbatical from work, and she travelled around western Europe and the high Himalayas of India. Her trip made her realize the real meaning of life, and she left her 9-5 salaried job with the dream of travelling the world.
