Ep. 69: Looking beyond beauty for magic in the landscape with 'Wanderland' author Jini Reddy
Manage episode 329589700 series 2674557
“A witty, gentle, original and very modern quest for the magical (not the mythical) in Britain’s landscape, which both made me laugh and moved me.” - Robert Macfarlane
I was delighted to have this chance to speak with writer Jini Reddy about her yearning to connect with the landscape of Britain, her adopted homeland, which resulted in her delightful and thought-provoking book ‘Wanderland’. Jini’s been writing on travel, nature, and spirituality for many years and shares her journey from a snow-loving childhood in Canada to Mother Teresa’s home in Calcutta to her writing and exploring life in UK.
Join me as Jini shares how a strange encounter alone at the top of a mountain in France led her down the journey of ‘Wanderland’, how she approaches solo travel, and how diverse voices are (finally) re-shaping the travel writing genre!
