Jamie Zeppa

Jamie Zeppa is a Canadian author and academic.

In her early twenties, she left her doctoral studies to teach English in Bhutan for two years, an experience that formed the basis of her memoir.

Zeppa's time in Bhutan profoundly impacted her, leading her to embrace Buddhism and fall in love with the country and its people.

After her initial two-year stint, she continued to live and work in Bhutan for several more years.

Zeppa's writing is noted for its vivid descriptions and introspective quality.

She has since published other works and continues to write about her experiences in Bhutan.
