Welcome !
I’m Mathew Parr, a British-born journalist of Mauritian descent with expertise in Travel, Events, and Luxury property.
I made history as the first gay Mauritian to get married thanks to my dual citizenship, with the ceremony taking place in Brighton & Hove in 2021.
Another milestone in my career was being the first non-civil servant to project manage and host a live panel talk for The Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office during Inclusion week amidst the pandemic. This event was streamed worldwide.
I have had the privilege of interviewing numerous celebrities and contributing to various publications.
