Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Since you have travelled so much if given a chance to settle in one place hypothetically which one that would be?
Ms. Shenaz Treasuryvala:
Chosen to live in India and make it my base, I’ve lived in many parts of the world, actually, I lived in Singapore with MTV, Bangkok, and Hong Kong. I’ve lived in L.A. for a short period. I’ve lived in New York for seven years. I’ve lived a lot everywhere. I even gave up my green card because I realized how much I love India. I love Indian people more than India. I just love that the people are so warm, loving and tolerant. You’ll need to realize that and be patient. You only realize that once you leave the country. When I was younger, I always wanted to live abroad somewhere more beautiful and cool. But now I’m just like, I’m very happy to be here. And I think I live here mostly.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Many people consider travel vlogging as an expensive career option, 3 suggestions you would like to give to the budget travellers?
Ms. Shenaz Treasuryvala:
You don’t have to travel far. Traveling can be anything, it can be like getting in a cycle and exploring another side of your neighbourhood. So you don’t have to go very far. Especially now after this whole Corona outbreak. I hope people will travel more within India and traveling can be fun whether its budget or luxury.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You look flawless in all your travel pictures, Share any 2 makeup and hair hacks while travelling?
Ms. Shenaz Treasuryvala:
Makeup and hair hacks during travel is no makeup. I actually don’t wear makeup if you notice, I literally don’t like makeup.
I used to be an actor and had to face what was it like, make me sit down in that vanity van and put makeup on me for like an hour, sometimes an hour and a half and I’d be so irritated and dying to get up and just get out of that chair. And so that’s the thing. I hate being inside and sitting. So that’s why I love what I do now. I don’t have to wear makeup if I don’t want to. I don’t need to. I don’t wear makeup. I don’t really do my hair. My mom would be upset. I just brush my hair, wash my face, and I’m out of the house. I’m out traveling.
That’s my hack.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You call your page as “Happiness Project”, Ideology behind it, you would like to share?
Ms. Shenaz Treasuryvala:
I feel like I mean, all of us go through ups and downs, but I think that I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs and I kind of figured out how to manage my downs to be up and happy. I really believe that if you put on a smile, you trick your brain into being happy and you are happy. And so I feel like I want to actually make even more motivational videos. And I like to talk about this mental health subject. And that’s why I call it the Happiness Project. Also, what I do, like traveling, whatever videos I make, sometimes funny or inspirational, it is my happiness project, brings me happiness for sure. And I hope I can bring other people happiness and a smile as well.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Lastly, what are your upcoming future plans and projects considering the pandemic has affected the tourism industry?
Ms. Shenaz Treasuryvala:
No travel plans. I’m here in my home. I’ve also started making dating videos on my YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. So check them out. See, the thing is, I can make videos on anything. So I’m not making travel videos. I can make videos on something else. I really enjoy romance and dating. Actually, that’s what my book is about as well and I was thinking, hey, I want to start making it. Isn’t that now? Well, we have to stay home. So I have that opportunity.
So now nobody can be like, how come you just moved from travelling to dating? No. They’re like, OK. She can’t travel, so she’s making dating, but I actually wanted to make dating videos for a while as well.
And of course, when it opens up, I will have the travel bug again. Like I said, I’ll make videos on anything except cooking. I’ll leave that for someone else.
