The images that make it into our long-term collective memory are few. A few of the images I have captured into my long-term memory are the ones I have lived through this week and am now sharing with whoever may be reading this blog. My favourite writing style is one that captures a moment in…Continue Reading Moments in Mexico
Pilot – ep 1.Tea with Tia

The Realities and Beauties of Mexico
We started our first day of university cooking up some traditional Mexican dishes. At Ibero, the typical apron doesn’t suffice for the kitchen. Instead, we all had to dress in what looked like full PPE gear that doctors wore during an operation(see photo below). As ridiculous as we looked, it ensured avoiding any health and…Continue Reading The Realities and Beauties of Mexico
Flying high and flying low in India
Kia Ora! My name is Mai, and I am on the PMSA IndoGenius Reimagining India study tour! I have decided to write an overall reflection on this past week and cover some of the major questions and highlights alongside new things I’ve learnt in this short period of time! Our journey started off with more…Continue Reading Flying high and flying low in India
Human Rights Week
Getting to university has been a mission in itself. We live in Roma Sur, about a 20-minute drive from Iberoamericana. Doesn’t sound very far, right? Wrong. I never want to hear another Aucklander complain about traffic until they experience Mexico City. That same 20-minute drive takes us an hour in the morning rush and sometimes…Continue Reading Human Rights Week
Week 1 – Part 2
The second half of the week, we got to hear from the British Chamber of Commerce! We were meant to go visit them, but a certain US President and Canadian Prime Minister were in town for the USMCA talks, and lucky for us, the British Chamber of Commerce is smack bang right next door, and…Continue Reading Week 1 – Part 2
First Taste of India
They say that India is an assault on the senses. For my first blog post, I thought I would share my first week in India with you through the sense of taste. Our first destination was the city of Pondicherry, which was a French colonial settlement until the mid 20th century. Pondicherry actually remained a colony…Continue Reading First Taste of India
¡Vamos!
I’m writing this blog as our first week in Mexico draws to a close. To say that it’s been unreal so far would be an understatement. We packed so much into this week (and yet there’s still many more places I want to explore when I come back in the future 😉), so I’m just…Continue Reading ¡Vamos!
A hectic and enlightening first week at IBERO!
Our first week of uni has been a big one, but I have a feeling that every week will be! This week we have been getting used to our routine. During the week, we have 12-hour days. We have to leave our hostel at 7:20am, walk 20 minutes and take the bus for almost an…Continue Reading A hectic and enlightening first week at IBERO!
Learning more than just business
Our journey began bright and early at 5 am at Auckland airport, starting with a three-hour flight to Sydney, then a thirteen-hour flight to Los Angeles and finally, a three-hour flight to beautiful Mexico. With lost luggage and delays causing missed flights, we were certainly getting to know one another very well! After some long-haul…Continue Reading Learning more than just business
