HELLO, I'M DELCIA

A Mauritian voyageuse on a lifelong itinerary.

I have been chasing the world long before I started this blog. What began as solo trips through Europe during my student years in Poitiers turned into a passion I now share, country by country, story by story.

 

Today, The Dodo Travelers is where my husband Nim and I document our adventures across Europe, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. Honest hotel reviews. Real prices. Local food we lost sleep over. The good, the bad, and the grève française.
