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.
