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. Those who have seen the heavenly landscape of the island and the hospitality of its people understand exactly what it means. Come to Mauritius and experience this island for yourself during an internship abroad, where you get the chance to live in heaven on earth.
Mauritius is known as the ultimate destination to relax on paradise looking beaches with azure blue waters. The island is small, yet it has so much to offer. Mauritian resorts and hotels are top of the bill but it gets even better when we start exploring the island a little more.
Sometimes I travel to a new country and spend the entire time thinking about the articles I’m going to write.
In Mauritius, it was all about the budget breakdown.
Writing about trip expenses is kind of my thing. I love breaking down the stereotypes that people hold about travel (that it’s only for the wealthy) and proving it’s more accessible than you think. So when I was driving across Mauritius — a country that’s typically believed to be a luxury honeymoon destination — and averaging $50 (€46/£39) a day, I was brimming with excitement.
I couldn’t wait to share that somewhere this beautiful could be this affordable.
