003 Let The Spirit Of The Land Guide You - JINI REDDY talks about The London Pull

JINI REDDY is a journalist, travel features writer and author. Her most recent book Wanderland has been inspired by her fascination with how indigenous people she met on her world travels seemed to have such a connection with the natural world, a relationship which was reciprocal and deeply spiritual. In our conversation, Jini touches on some of the places she visited while on her journey across the UK following her intuition and using synchronicities and encounters to guide her in the hope of catching at least a glimpse of spiritual magic in the landscape, and at the same time, as a woman from a multi-cultural background, hoping to connect with her otherness.

BACKGROUND

Jini came to London as a young woman in her twenties. She was born in London but grew up in Montreal, Canada and studied English Literature in France. She was in book publishing, has travelled to over 60 countries, and has finally settled in London where she was born - although left for Canada when only 7 years old.

This is her unique story about London, the world, and life.

"Make sure you visit London’s neighbourhoods,

London's green spaces, and London's diverse communities,

because we have the whole world in London."

 

WANDERLAND is published by Bloomsbury. Please, if you can, support independent bookshops, they need your continuing support and loyalty during these particularly challenging times.

Her other book WILD TIMES is published by Bradt Guides.

She recently filmed a little promotion of her book with Stanfords
