Brent will unearth Mauritius's history and immerse himself in the thoughts and ideas of the people that belong to this beautiful island. He will explore her from ocean to peak, city to beach; unwrap the food and flavours, hear the authentic stories of the locals and have some extreme adventures in this little piece of paradise.
