Behind Barefoot
Born and raised in Mauritius, I’ve spent years exploring the island far beyond the usual tourist routes.
After working as a nature guide for more than three years, I realized many travelers were only discovering the crowded and overly touristy side of Mauritius , while the island has so much more to offer.
Barefoot was created to share a more authentic, human and meaningful way to experience Mauritius, through carefully chosen experiences, trusted local people and moments that truly stay with you.
