A few days after our magical wedding in the North of Mauritius my husband and I (neither of us is Mauritian) still had lots of friends and family here from all over the world. We thought it would be fun if we got to spend some time together and decided to go on an adventure at sea, a family boat trip. Mauritius conscious was immensely helpful and quick to organise something accordingly at very short notice (not easy to get so many people, 19 of us, organised).
Mauritius has served as a model for the creation of heaven. The famous quote from Mark Twain’s travel record ‘Following the Equator’ is indeed taken out of context, but nevertheless, countless people repeat this phrase from their heart and soul.

Come to Mauritius and experience this island for yourself during an internship abroad, where you get the chance to live in heaven on earth.
