Shenaz Treasury’s slow travel philosophy
Echoing her views, the actor and travel influencer, says, “For me, mindful travel is about making conscious choices at every step. I try to pick destinations that prioritise sustainability, such as eco-friendly hotels that support local businesses, and places that respect their communities and hire local staff. I’ve also learned to slow down my travel: fewer destinations, longer stays, using local transport, and always ensuring I leave a place as clean as I found it. What truly bothers me, though, is the casual way people litter — seeing garbage, even at the bottom of the ocean, is deeply upsetting. That’s why I started the hashtag #tumnephekamainedekha on Instagram, encouraging people to call out littering. During my recent trip to Sri Lanka, I stayed at three nature-focused retreats that emphasised minimal consumption, local food, and environmental respect, and that experience reaffirmed how fulfilling and responsible travel can feel.”
