Delegátka z exotiky


Skutečný příběh ženy, která vyměnila jistotu domova za dobrodružství v tropickém ráji. Mauricius, jak ho turisté neznají – zákulisí resortů, kulturní střety, trapasy i chvíle, kdy exotika ztrácí lesk. Zkušená delegátka vypráví s nadhledem o práci, která je spíš zkouškou odvahy než dovolenou. Čtivý mix cestopisu, deníku a osobního příběhu o hledání sebe sama tam, kde moře voní po vanilce a občas i po realitě.
