- By Priya Pathiyan

Once the Gold Spot girl, then a model, an MTV VJ, an actor, and more recently, author of All He Left Me Was a Recipe, we asked the effervescent Shenaz Treasury on her take on the most important things to consider when journeying across the world.

ALWAYS SAY YES TO THE DETOUR

The best times I've had and the best stories always happen out of the itinerary.

My experience: Some of my favourite travel memories are when I've actually lost my way and suddenly, I find myself dancing barefoot at a Samba party somewhere in Rio or suddenly, I've lost my way and go, 'Oh my God. Wow. What a beautiful waterfall!'

ALWAYS PACK LIGHT

Pack for who you are, don't pack for Instagram.
