About This Book
At twenty-four, Jamie Zeppa left academic life in Canada to teach in Bhutan — one of the most remote Himalayan kingdoms.
In Beyond the Sky and the Earth, she recounts:
• The cultural shock of moving from the West to Bhutan • The challenge of language and isolation • Living within a deeply Buddhist society • The generosity and worldview of her students and their families • Her gradual transformation and eventual conversion to Buddhism
This is not a meditation manual or philosophical text.
It is a deeply personal travel memoir — an intimate portrait of life in Bhutan during a time of political and cultural transition.
Ideal For:
• Readers interested in Bhutanese culture • Travel memoir enthusiasts • Those curious about cross-cultural spiritual journeys • Readers of Himalayan travel writing • Anyone drawn to reflective personal transformation stories
