We are Eleise and Lawrence & Nyh - A young family from the south of England. Like many people the pandemic gave us a shake up! While watching hours of Mark Weins in Thailand - We had our “Ah ha” Moment. We decided we wanted to travel.
Enjoying working for ourselves, we didn’t want to give up our business and decided it was entirely possible for us to do both. So we set about making it our lifestyle to work in the UK for a month, and then travel for a month - month on, month off…. until our little boy Nyh goes to school! We want to inspire people that you don’t have to up-sticks, sell all your belongings and leave behind family to be able to see the world.
Our Philosophy. Work, Travel, Repeat.

CAN SOMEONE IN COMMENTS EXPLAIN HOW THE IMPORT/ EXPORT SYSYEM WORKS IN MAURITIUS PLEASE?
Absolutely enjoyed it! Really useful to compare the prices UK vs Mauritius :) Make more videos about Mauritius
Tells you how life is expensive for locals, let's say that overall prices are the same here and in the UK however for the same jobs Brits earn about 5 times more.
It doesn't make sense, does it!? Sad to see. Surely there's a better way for locals. Thank you for watching 🖤
Seems a bit more expensive to me, especially considering the prices of the skincare products and that kind of thing. The fruit prices are just incredible too. She seems to be better with the comparisons than he does. I had the same experience in Albania and China. No idea why everyone says poor countries are cheap to live but in fact the groceries at least cost at least as much as the UK if not more and the stuff is mostly better in the UK with more options.
Today is 21/01/2024 and if you go to the veggie market at Quatre Bornes, Rose Hill or Port Louis, you'll be even more so shoked at the price of carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. It's not just the cyclone but scraping off vital arable and grazing land to build futile concrete structures causing insecure food self-insufficiency, flooding and drought
Scary at Quatre-Bornes. The veggies prices eish
Hello! I like your videos because you guys shows the true thing from there even at the super market,which is so very expensive for local and you are absolutely right to say that not enough local products from the island. Thankyou for showing the one who is in other countries,like me who is in France.
Very interesting vlog
Thank you guys for this one ❤❤❤
Ahh thank you 😊 Hope you have a great day! We appreciate you more than you know 🖤🖤🖤
Hi :) and hope you appreciate your time on our little island ! For sure, the price in MRU are expensive as 80-90% of our food/needs are being imported from other countries. Some items being produce on the island are a little cheaper but still life remain really difficule for mauritian with the extreme increase in price since covid. Its a whole debat but am sure you will figure out during your stay here 😊😅
Otherwise, Enjoy your time, mauritius has so much to offer 😊
Very true! We've figured a lot out since and nearly all of it positive ☺️ Thank you so much for watching and even more for commenting 🖤
BTW, about the bagguets, most probably going dry next day thing.
Best stored in cling film stays soft as bought for few days.
Even when feels bit dry after, its still very edible,
Proffesional chefs tip on "freshing up" the baguettes, is,
Open tap on kitchen sink, hold it under running water for a quick few seconds, the stick it in micro for couple of minutes or pre heated oven, and bingo, its good as day it was bought fresh !! 😊😊😅😅
Great video ❤🇵🇭
Thank you! 😃 🖤 We appreciate you so much for watching and commenting ☺️ 🖤🖤🖤
Nice one guys im Mauritian i lived a few years in london and scotland thats true most products are imported and its like difficult to afford by locals at times even local products as well we can say it's exaggerated in price but locals here buy what they can afford actually just too bad when i was back from uk was quite difficult for me adjust with the prices but of course i wont spend for things which is not worth it thanks for your visit please dont run away from our island coz of the prices😂 u take care guys
Yes reality of Mauritius! I'm a brit and was shocked too!! My 2 pint 😮tesco milk is way cheaper than the milk I bought in Mauritius! What to talk of other stuff
here! I love my tesco ❤
yes lactose free milk $ 5 aud we buy here $1.20 rediculous
In Mauritius, life is so expensive. just think of a tourist like you see it expensive, what about a mauritian who lives there?
So true! We're finding it hard to understand why there isn't more support for the local people. 🖤
@@parttimetravellingfamilyno such thing as support in a so called paradise. A corrupt government, high cost of live and a constant struggle to find a decent job for unskilled workers, immigrants have more chances to obtain job here than locals.
I kid you not, where I live, factories which are situated there don't employ people in this vicinity but rather employ people who lives far or immigrants. A lot of discrimination just for a lousy and tiring job that will pay only 15000 rupees a month
The ingredients they replace natural sugar cane or beet root sugar with are called Sacharin and Sucralose. These are petroleum by products discovered in the 19th century which are now added to almost everything. I suspect because it is cheap to make and distribute. You need to grow sugar cane, harvest and process it, store it and ship it and distribute it and store in huge warehouses. Cost heaps. Almost all toothpaste contain sacharin, titanium salts, fluoride ( a deadly poison in large doses). There are warnings on toothpaste tubes to not swallow and if you do go to go an hospital emergency. Money talks, bullshit walks. Have fun.
We left last week we stayed in an Airbnb near Tamarin - I guess most Brits stay in an all inclusive hotel ! We went to visit family ! Sadly the island been hit by a cyclone since we left !
Most people definitely think the island only have Resorts to visit. Hopefully we can help change that view so the local people get more business. Sending all our love and thoughts to the people effected by the cyclone 🖤🖤
We stayed at 2 airbnbs near Preneuse - we found out about a restaurant on our last day so next time we visit we will be trying it! We mostly ate at my daughters MIL house but London Way is a great supermarket and a lovely French bakery nearby
Absolutely you right 😊😊😊
🖤🖤🖤 Just spreading some awareness 😊
Thank you dear because am from Mauritius 😇🇲🇺
Your little daughter is soooo cute.
Minimum salary is around €325.. Most people salary is around 350 to 500
Yeps Life is very expensive in this tiny island. The sellers have to import everything because in Mauritius most items are not produced locally. One of the reason is because labour is expensive and also most people do not have the producer mindset. The whole market is based on consumption.
My favourite supermarket pereybere 😊..
If you come to flacq market on Wednesdays, here vegetables and fruits are really cheap , I WOULD SAY CHEAPER THAN IN SUPERMARKETS. But clothes are expensive here in Mauritius
Flacq is in the East of Mauritius
Hello guys I don't know your name. But you people are amazing.......Gigantic man, lovely lady & the daughter [Beauty & the beast].... I used to watch your videos earlier. Then your channel suddenly got disappeared from Home page.. anyways... all the best..
Regarding fruit and produce… you’ll get better quality at a lower price at some of the roadside vendors. And unfortunately, regardless of whether you buy at the store or from local farmers, pesticides are used quite heavily here.
Bro prank us with his, "How about my turn to talk" 🤣🤣😭
You're somewhat inaccurate with the prices in the UK though. £9 for 200g of lurpak? It's £2.15, actually £1.70 with clubcard. Also vegetables and fruit are not GMO, just because it's sprayed does make it GMO, that is something else entirely. Overall it looks to be about the same as the UK, perhaps a little more, hard to say.
You must realise that most branded products are IMPORTED.Therefore you cannot compare the prices with UK. Its common sense
Shutup
Pa apel common sense sa…apel sa pri exagéré,oui ban zfr la kpav sorti dehor mais moris exagéré lor so ban prix ….en gro tro cher
Correct
@@NattyDread-cs2ni there's freight , there's tax on arrival . Tax from importers . Tax to customer
Common sense? 😂😂😂 They always use the imported excuse to explain these ridiculous prices. So what about the expensive local products? Even our local fruits are more expensive here than the price abroad where it's exported. Every week the prices are raised. That is not called common sense at all.
Whenever the newspaper talk about how the prices of veggies or other food will go up, we mauritian all complain on facebook. And here when you're showing the truth about how expensive life is for us local, they get mad at you or say it's all because it's imported. Some mauritian doesn't really like it when tourists shows the reality of our island but I'll do the same when traveling. Import isn't an excuse for the prices we have here. Every week the prices are increasing. Not just imported products but even local veggies and fruits. Lindt chocolate used to be 70 rupees before, then after covid it became 170 rupees and now it's 220(that's like 4 or 5 pounds) whereas Madagascar is so close to us, they could have imported the chocolate from there as it's way cheaper or even vegetables. Madagascar has so many good fruits and vegetables. Better in quality also as it's not filled with pesticides.
At winners supermarket it’s always more expensive than others supermarkets
tomatoes at super u in Tamarin (west coast) Rs456.00 per kg on the 25/3/24
Ale super u
It is a very expensive island to go shopping for groceries its is almost the same as AUD i found out , you realy need to double check there rupees with your own currency . its so easy to give a hundred rupees without realising its cheaper in philippines sorry to say and the air fares are much cheaper
Everything is expensive nowadays! Here in States it’s so expensive too!
SO TRUE! UK is no different 😅 Thank you for watching 🖤
Do you know thé average basic salary in Mauritius for a very large amont of thé population? From 400 USD to 700USD per month. Try to analyse and compare the price,how expensive it is
@@parttimetravellingfamily The UK is completely different because everyone earns so much more. Same with the USA.
@@fredericconstant9997 Exactly. I think people are a bit out of touch with comparisons. I found the same thing when living in Albania and China. I always thought poor countries would be super cheap but they seem overall a bit more expensive and the quality and range is often worse.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm an Indian sometimes I think Mauritius is cheaper than India, people from Europe and UK where currency value high , they said Mauritius expensive.
How is the sunscreen in the beginning of the video expensive?? In New Zealand i bought the exact same one for $20 which is £10
Not many people buy them and it's imported. I buy sunscreen and all my family members always finish mine as they cannot afford such a "luxury".
Sunscreen are really expensive here.. needed one to travel and in jumbo the price were really high , brand was cancer research or something
I went to a pharmacy and got an Indian brand for 4 pound almost
That's the reality of Mauritius, price of all basic needs kept sky rocking. Why? Poor governmental management!
Shopping here in Mauritius is a mix bag of good and bad. If you think "sterling" then you will find certain product expensive compared to the UK, but from a rupee point of view, prices for most items are in my opinion reasonable for expats. But then, I'm speaking as a Brit who lives here on the island. I personally don't know how the locals particularly cope on earnings amounting to less than £500 PCM.
Guys, i dont know what currency coversion you are using, but mauritius rupee is 100 = £1.75. At todays rate.
Just to double check ?
😊😊😮😮
with the prices you have mentioned these items are more expensive in Ghana
The stuff that is made here is generally cheap. The other day had the shock of life. I went to buy spring onions thinking it was 30rs. I gave her 50rs note, I stood there like an idiot waiting for change but I got nothing 😂
That's expensive ,a year back that was about 30 RS in the market . And before that it was 10-15
I think SuperU is cheaper than Winners
Bet you like the hot chilly from rodrigue island feeling hot hot hotttt
Yes, the products are excruciatingly expensive in Mauritius....
Luv your wife lol
Great! Would you like to come over for dinner?
Hey guys absolutely love your video. I want to move there to live with my family as ex pat digital income people.
Your personalities are spot on, dad is a legend, but of a geeza and your wife is smoking hot 😜
Lovely family

Which Winners were you at? Which part of Mauritius?
All population need to change ....the all..

Everywhere you go .....
Hi ! Are you a local or just an exiled one living in a foreign country, used to criticize & saying bad things on all our local institutions? We all know treatment for health-purposes in all local hospitals are free, even for tourists visiting the island. If you wish to have a covid-vaccine, you just go into a hospital, & make a request. It is given & done free without any charge.
Ur not from Mauritius for sure!
And doesnt know anything.
Health treatment is free!
Toiletries are very expensive in Mauritius.
The government there is bad.They hve allowed this
Im sad for my family and peoples who live there
🖤
If expensive...dont buy!!
If you don't like that spot-on bitter Mauritian reality, f-off. This is not SunTrust channel
All these goods are imported from your country."European."Go fishing if you want to eat fish.D'ont spoil our reputation
You expatriates you want to create apartheid land here!You of all people r complaining about cost of living!
Mauritius is Rip-off. Thats extortion!
There's lots of taxes here
Hi gang, we're a family of brits recently moved here and yes agree with this vid, lol. But life is pretty sweet on this paradise island. Be great to meet you in person, we're West based, we're Travel As They Grow on facebook, a little tiny family travel blog. You guys are huuuuge
Amazing!!! Thank you for watching us ☺️ We would of loved tooo. We’ve actually left the Island now. We’re in Maldives. Our TH-cam is a couple of months behind. If our paths cross again.. absolutely we’ll meet and have a coffee 😊 We’ll go over and check out your Facebook too 🖤🖤🖤
Go in other supermarket u might get cheaper.
Ur on island not in uk silly people. WE HAVE FREIGHT. MAURITIAN BUY THEM N U R CMPLAINING.Shame on u.
Slightly rude...
Really sorry for that obnoxious person. I'm from Mauritius just like her and would recognize such stupidly rude brown-nosers (here we call em Chatwas) who can't even understand the Mauritian rupee depreciated 40% compared to 2014. Back then there was also freight charges but imported food commodities were not that pricey... milk, butter, cheese from New Zealand were still very affordable but now even the generic brands made in Egypt is out of budget. The current government is killing us
Sheep
You are the silly one here. He's showing the reality in your face which most Mauritian like you are ignorant about. you should be against the Government not anyone else. Shame on you Movais nimport
