Yiasas! It’s officially the last day and I’m super sad to be leaving. I’ve grown super attached to Cyprus. I know I’m gonna be craving pita, souvlaki, tzatziki, and especially halloumi when I get back home. None of it will taste as good as it does here. This morning we had company visits with Vassiliko…

Day 10 & We’re Near the End
Day 10 is officially over; it was our second to last day 🙁 We finally had a late start this morning which was super nice because I got to go out for breakfast since I wasn’t rushing. We got coffee at Coffee Berry which was some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. It was…
Day 9 Was Divine
Yiasas! Day 9 was absolutely divine. We finally went to the Northern side of Cyprus! We started at the old part of Famagusta which was a ghost town. It was crazy to see all of the abandoned buildings and hear about the history. This part of Famagusta became a ghost town after the Turkish invasion….
Day 8 Was Great
Well, it’s the first day back after Paphos and I do miss the beach. Today was very informative and I felt like I learned a lot. We started with a surprisingly short drive to UNIC; I didn’t even get a chance to nap! There, we met with Fleet Management. After hearing from a lot of…
Day 6 & 7 in Heaven
Wow, this weekend was fun! I was so happy to finally have casual days with no business meetings where we could just explore the culture and history of Cyprus. We started Saturday with a sort of bus tour. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t awake for all of it, but I really tried to be. I…
Day 5 & Some Fish Eyes!
Day 5 includes some fish eyes! So, this morning Natasha and I woke up very much on time. Woot woot!!! We started the day at BSM Training Center which I was way more interested in than I thought I would be. They took us to all of the simulation rooms which were all fascinating. They…
Day 4 & To Many More!
Day 4 is making me want more! Unfortunately the world decided that I had to sleep in this morning so I woke up at 8:06 to the sound of someone knocking on my door. Oops. Aside from getting ready in like 5 minutes, the day was absolutely amazing. Troodos Square was beautiful and the mountains…
Day Three is History
Day three is officially history now. The bus naps today were divine. As Matt said, “Heads were knocked.” Anyway, DP world was great. I really loved the presentations and all of the insights we got about the port industry. The assistant manager was so knowledgeable and answered our questions extremely well. I grew to appreciate…
Day Two is Through
Hey y’all! Day two commenced with a lovely, long, traffic-filled bus ride. Sarcasm aside, it was great to look out the window at the landscape during the ride. I still am so shocked that Cyprus is so dry and deserty. When we were arriving in Limassol, it was cool to see all the architecture. There…
Day One is Done :(
Yiasas! It was our first day in Cyprus and it was so exciting!!! We started with a wonderful breakfast of delicious croissants in the hotel. We then went on a little walking tour of the new city which smelled so good. There was jasmine everywhere! I don’t think Pittsburgh has ever smelled that good. Walking…
Living Like Lucy: Intro to My Cyprus Blog

I am majoring in Chemical Engineering, but I am also getting minors in Computer Science and French as well as a Nuclear Engineering certificate. With my Chemical Engineering degree, I want to go into nuclear engineering…
