Unfortunately, today was our last full day here in Cyprus. Although it is sad, I am glad that we went out with a bang by visiting St. Mina’s Monastery and Lefkara Village. We began our day by embarking on a long journey up the mountains to arrive at St. Mina’s Monastery. As soon as we…

Making Waves in The Sea Industry
Today we had the opportunity to see, no pun intended, two separate companies that specialize in different aspects of the open waters. Bernhardt Shuttle and Columbia Group allowed us to see different perspectives surrounding the same industry, ships, and the water. We first went to Bernhardt Shuttle, where we learned a little more about ship…
What A Concrete Start to The Day!
We started the morning off strong by visiting Vassiliko Cement Company where we learned about various aspects of making concrete. At first, we were given some basic information, such as the fact that concrete is composed of limestone and clay. Following some more basic, yet vital knowledge if you want to truly understand the concrete…
Masters Behind the Seas
Today, we had the great pleasure of learning about four companies: Cyprus Ports Authority, DP World, P&O Maritime Logistics, and Eurogate. They each brought something a little bit different to the table; however, there was one thing that was prominent throughout all companies: the fact that they each had a connection to supply chain. In…

Down South
I knew from looking through the window on the bus as we approached Kourion that it was going to be one of my favorite places this far. Safe to say, I was correct. I love history, so not only did Kourion being packed with history make this one of my top destinations of the trip…
Don’t Fall!
It did not take long for me to be intrigued by the impressive company that is Wargaming. I was amazed from the very beginning. Starting with their employee-driven values, organized culture, and beautiful artifacts and features, it was clear to me that this company embodied professionalism. One of the most impressive things, however, was the…
Day 2 Much Fun
Pulling up to Vassos Eliades in the bus and seeing the huge space that they have instantly caught my attention. At first I was wondering how in the world they fill up a space that big. Little did I know, a couple of minutes later I was able to see exactly how they not only…
Exploring Cyprus Day 1
After an exhausting day(s) of travel, we have finally arrived in the beautiful and sunny country of Cyprus! It did not take long for what this country has to offer to make up for the two long flights. From immediately being hit by warmer temperatures than Pittsburgh when exiting the airport, to being given the…
