​

Do I need to bring anything special?

We recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes or sandals with straps.

Remember that Bali, Mauritius and Reunion all have a tropical climate; therefore, there is no need to bring much warm clothing.

We suggest light and breathable garments (cotton, linen or silk). Absolutely essential is your swimsuit, sunscreen, sun hat, toiletries and insect repellent. Australia and Italy have very similar climates though we advise checking www.weather.com before you pack. Any other personal home comforts you want - e.g some of us really like our own pillow, special pen, personal journal etc.  

Although less is best.

Do bring your willingness to discover & enjoy the freedom of just BEING YOU;)
