Last weekend I found myself in Cat island for the second time in one month... not bad if you ask me. I was asked to talk at the first annual Earth Day celebration hosted in Arthurs Town Cat Island. It was great to be part of the 3 person panel from Nassau that spoke about various environmental project and initiatives. I talked about my coral conservation project, which was great the more presentations I can give the more coverage the project gets. It was also fantastic to connect with some of the other stake holders within the community. It makes me happy about the networks that I am developing throughout The Bahamas especially with the youth. Even though I am talking about Cat Island I am writing this blog post from lovely Exuma. Cat Island one week lovely Exuma this week I must say two of the best islands in The Bahamas back to back, not bad at all. As I sit here looking out the window I contemplate where I am in my journey of so called life. I am really excited to be only one and a half classes away from finishing this second year of my MSc. I say half because I am in the middle of one class now and then once I get the final A ok I begin my thesis year... the last and final year!!!! Oh how I am so excited. Even though I have already started working on it with my EDGE project it will nice to be able to focus on it and not have to worry about classes!!!!! But this mean I have to start thinking about my doctorate and where I will go to school to do that. I want to go somewhere in the UK or EU. I think it would be nice to get my Phd done in 3 years as opposed to 4 to 5 years and also it would be a nice change and give me a chance to try and connect with the Irish side of me. This weekend I’m working with some of my friends from the states and we are going to be diving danger reef, its funny I will never forget the day I went to danger reef and saw the eagle ray ballet.. at least that’s how I remember it with at least 1o rays swimming about 50 feet bellow as I floated on the surface in awe. I know my friends want to see sharks which we will of course see but I wouldn’t mind having some eagle rays in my life tomorrow. Heres to a fun filled weekend with friends and great dives and so thats my cue to get out from in front of my computer and go and enjoy sunny Exuma!

Thank you for sharing this post with us, I am working in Komodo Resorts as a travel agent. Cat Island definitely sounds like a fairy tale land, but it is actually a real island off of the coast of Japan. Cat Island, or Tashirojima Island as it is referred to in Japan, is an island that has a larger cat population than human population. These cats are not owned by anyone on the island, and are instead the main residents of the island.

I am very fond of cats ever since I owned a persian cat not too long ago. My grandma gave it to me as a birthday gift and since then, I have been adopting cats all my life. I am a cat mom of twelve precious kitties in my household. They are the ones who take care of the house whenever I am not around because I have to go to work. I don’t regret having a lot of cats!
