Welcome to the ExpatMauritius.com Blog

There are many facets of expatriate life that come as a total surprise. It is easy for outsiders to get the wrong idea about expatriate life: a perception that combines romanticism and leisure, adventure and pleasure, a better life, a hope, a future. It is seen as a privileged lifestyle and envied by those who stay behind. These qualities may, in some way or another, be present in the expatriate lifestyle, but with them also come the sacrifices, discipline, energy, focus, determination, self-discipline and connectedness that enable you to keep yourself together.

Be pro-active! Get a generator or if you have one, check that it is in good working order.

Oh dear!!!! it is going to be a long summer for some!!!!!!
It does not really get to "winter" in Mauritius! Winter is supposed to be COLD and that is something that I have not yet experienced in the 2 years that I have been on the island.
