I am very excited to say that the event that culminated my time here in Geneva has now come and gone. I held a very successful conference in Mauritius on the textile and clothing industry in sub-Saharan Africa. AND I got to see (some of) Mauritius. The conference had 30 participants, and although there were some hiccups and people not coming, all in all it went really well. As my first major event planning job in my life, I am very happy to say that it went really well - the discussions were lively, progress was made in getting people in [View Full Entry]

In all honestly, I never heard of this tiny African island before I knew I was going to be one of our ports on Semester at Sea. I was happy just to be getting on land again after a week of incredibly rocky waters due to a slight brush with a cyclone coming around the southern coast of the African continent. It’s a little unsettling to have your plates and utensils move around the table on their own if they aren’t held down. We were told that our three days in Mauritius were going to be equivalent to a Spring [View Full Entry]

Pappa visiting Relaxing on the beach, sun bathing, swimming, and then some more relaxing on the beach, sun bathing, swimming and then Pappa was ready for exploration of the island. So amongst eating Bruno’s fantastic cooking both at Coco de Mer and at his home we did some sightseeing: Port Louis Market Fruit and vegetable market as well as the meat and fish market. It is a big contrast from what we are used to in Europe and North America with strict regulations on handling live stock and meat. It is definitively worth a visit just to feel the hustle and [View Full Entry]
