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.

Notes to bloggers...
- Please introduce yourself – even if you use a nickname – it is just good manners to get acquainted.
- Look at the general topics. When posting your message give it a good message title and give us an indication where to place it e.g. family matters, housing, etc. The key to getting responses is in how catchy your message title is.
- Not all messages are going to be answered by the ExpatMauritius.com team. Your fellow expats will help you to get the correct answer.

I’m new to Mauritius – am over here working in Port Louis, for 4 months, from New Zealand.
I’m staying with a lovely family, but am finding it extremely difficult to meet people – many of the women’s events seem to be during the daytime – ie working hours.
Could anyone give me information about any book clubs/gatherings etc that are open to all to join? I’ve already heard about the Hash house Harriers and will try that this weekend..
I am looking for activities for small boys in Mauritius. We are new to this country & looking for ozzie/kiwi or english speaking families for socialising on the weekends & during the week, either after school for play times or coffee mornings etc.
We live in the Flic en Flac area.
Hi, sorry I only see your message now. My neighbour is aus and I see you posted an add on the notice board - I will ask her to give you a ring - a really nice aus family living in Tamarin.

Hi, I am an expat woman, new on this island, married with no kids. I'm enjoying life on the island but could do with more friends to hang out and have coffee mornings and afternoon lunches in Black river/ Tamarin area. Anyone who is like-minded?
Hi i'm new to mauritius and am looking for some new friends for my kids and of course myself, to meet in the tamarin area. I have an 8 year old boy and a 1 year old daughter and don't know anyone yet - oh dear! I'm british and my husband is french so we all speak both. Are there any play groups round here during the day for my daughter? Or do people just use the creches? Tiny tots looks seemed quite good. Anyway, help! Julie xx
