I can’t believe our trip is over already. Between company visits and cultural stops, I felt like it flew by so fast. Before this trip, I had barely even heard of Cyprus. Now that it’s over, I can’t wait to come back! Every morning in our hotel we would have breakfast downstairs. Josette and I…

PwC and more goodbyes
I can’t believe our trip is almost over! I don’t think I’m ready to go home yet:(. Today our group didn’t meet until 11 so we were able to sleep in a little bit. We woke up a little early and went to the little coffee place next to the hotel. I got my usual…
Bye Georgina!!
Today we visited the Turkish occupied area of Cyprus. Georgina first showed us around the ghost town are of the occupied side of the city. It was really sad to see how worn down the once bustling town was. The whole occupied area definitely had a different, almost eerie feeling, than the city of Nicosia….
I still don’t understand crypto
Today was kind of a long day of lectures at UNIC. We started off by meeting with two shipping companies. The first was fleet management limited and the second was Mediterranean ship management company. Both lectures provided an extensive description of the management side of shipping. I think it’s cool how we’ve seen all sides…

Food and company visits
We started out today pretty early and headed out to Limassol to visit medochemie, which is a pharmaceutical company. It took us a little over an hour to get there, but the drive was beautiful and well worth it. The headquarters of medochemie were very clean and modern, and it was very interesting to get…
Eat Walk Eat Walk!🙈
Today was our first full day in Cyprus and it was go, go, go! I loved learning about the culture here and walking around both the Old and New City. It was really interesting seeing the contrast between the two, especially with the architecture I felt like it was a perfect way to start off…
