The Shooting Star: A Girl, Her Backpack and the World by Shivya Nath is her memoir about quitting her corporate job at age twenty-three to embark on a nomadic journey that has taken her everywhere from remote Himalayan villages to the Amazon rainforests of Ecuador. Along the way, she lived with an indigenous Mayan community in Guatemala, hiked alone in the Ecuadorian Andes, swam across the border from Costa Rica to Panama, slept under a meteor shower in the cracked salt desert of Gujarat and learned to conquer her deepest fears. With its vivid descriptions, cinematic landscapes, moving encounters and uplifting adventures, it’s a travel memoir that maps not just the world but the human spirit.

APPLE AIRPODS PRO 3 are the best in-ear headphones I’ve used. They are perfect for travel and remote work because they combine premium audio, noise cancellation, portability, phone call quality, and Adaptive Audio that intelligently adjusts to changing environments, They’re also water resistance with all-day battery life so they’re perfect for long travel days, work sessions, workouts, and walking around a city.  And they offer free custom engraving so of course I got the Free Palestine version :).  See all the travel gear I use and recommend.

Born in Jamaica, Janine Jervis spent nearly two decades helping lead tourism marketing for Jordan and shares stories of how travel transformed her understanding of the Middle East, Palestine, identity, belonging, and cross-cultural connection. She also reflects on Black travel, media perception, speaking out about Palestine within the travel industry, returning to live in Jamaica after 25 years abroad, and the power of authentic storytelling to bridge cultures across borders.
