Seychelles

I’ve always felt a deep connection to the sea, a rhythm I first learned growing up along the Kenyan coast.

There’s a part of me that feels it’s the perfect place to start fresh, to weave my life into a new tapestry of island living.

Stepping onto La Digue feels like entering a postcard, a place where time seems to slow down and the vibrant blues of the ocean meet the lush greens of tropical foliage. It’s an island that whispers invitations to explore at your own pace, and for me, that’s always the most rewarding way to travel. Michael and our little ones, Lily and Ethan, often marvel at how a place can feel so untouched, yet so welcoming. Choosing Your Island Wheels The very first thing that strikes you about La Digue is the quiet hum of bicycles. This is the island’s

The Seychelles islands are a dream for any traveler, a place where emerald jungles meet turquoise waters and time seems to slow down. I’ve found myself drawn back to their shores over the years, each visit revealing something new. They have a magic that settles into your soul, especially when you’re looking for a bit of everything—relaxation, adventure, and authentic culture. Weather in November November marks a lovely turning point in the Seychelles. The winds begin to shift, bringing a gentle warmth and a bit more humidity. For me, this means lush greenery and skies that often feature dramatic,

My travel adventure, nearing its end, has been a peculiar culinary journey. For weeks, I’ve been exploring, and frankly, I’ve been a bit underwhelmed by the food. We’ve tried everything from cozy local eateries to more upscale dining spots, and even quick takeaways. Still, none of the meals really made me say, “Wow, this is absolutely perfect!” Even when we picked up ingredients from different stores to cook ourselves, the results were consistently lackluster. It’s made me wonder how the local people manage to find delicious food regularly. Pasta Puzzles and Dairy Dilemmas My kitchen experiments started with pasta.

My heart always leaps a little when I think about the Seychelles. They are truly a special place, a scattering of emerald islands in the vast Indian Ocean. When planning our visits, especially during certain times of the year, a little foresight about the natural rhythms of the islands makes all the difference for that perfect, tranquil beach day. Understanding Seasonal Breezes The Seychelles experiences distinct wind seasons. From around May to September, the southeast trade winds are generally more active. This means that beaches facing the southeast can sometimes experience choppier waters and the presence of seaweed washed

My husband Michael and I recently spent some time exploring the Seychelles, and it’s a place that truly whispers romance and adventure. The islands offer such a unique blend of stunning natural beauty and a relaxed, yet engaging, atmosphere that it’s hard not to fall in love with them.

Embarking on a linguistic quest, I recently found myself immersed in the evocative world of Seychellois author Antoine Abel. My personal mission was to translate a particular excerpt from his work, Coco Sec, a passage depicting workers taking a much-needed respite from their labors. The sentence that proved to be a delightful puzzle was: “Ensuite, les hommes prennent leur pipe, chique, butor ou prise.” Unpacking the Tobacco Ritual My translation journey began smoothly enough. “Pipe” was straightforward, and “chique” quickly revealed itself as chewing tobacco, a common indulgence among laborers in many cultures. The translation of this part thus

With 115 islands spread across the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles offers honeymooners a landscape defined by pink-granite boulders, car-free island roads, and beaches that regularly rank among the world’s most beautiful. The first time you see Anse Source d’Argent, it’s almost disorienting. The pink-granite boulders rise straight out of turquoise shallows, smoothed by wind and tide into shapes that look sculpted. It’s not the postcard version of a tropical beach — it’s stranger, older, and more specific to this archipelago than any overwater bungalow could be. That visual signature — the boulders, the car-free islands, the unhurried ferry connections

Embarking on a journey felt like a breath of fresh air, a chance to truly connect with a place.

It’s always a bittersweet feeling when a trip is coming to a close, but this Seychelles adventure has been a dream. We have just a few nights left, and the challenge has been finding that perfect balance between seeing all the vibrant beauty and just truly soaking it all in. I love those invigorating mornings, maybe exploring a new beach or taking a gentle hike, and then dedicating the afternoons to simply relaxing, letting the resort’s comforts wash over us.
