I wish to tell you a little about my travel on Seychelles. First, I did not expect something like that. It is just fabulously beautiful nature.
The only thing that troubled me was that I was very afraid to get into water – it’s Indian ocean actually. My friends that visited India told me before my trip that many dangerous fishes and plants live in this ocean. And that was just terrible. Though, almost everybody around me swam absolutely easy.
I had a terrible headache right on the day of our departure. You can imagine how I felt in the plane. But when we have arrived – I felt perfectly! Probably, not only Seychelles’ nature, but also its energetic is absolutely different!
There are a lot of islands in this place. Just several people live on some of them. So happy people. But we live like in a huge ant hill.
We did not manage to visit other islands except Mahe. We have just relaxed from the seen and in general did not want something more. But now I regret.
The best thing now is to leave everything and to fly there, and to become happy once again. But work holds. As I’ll get tired – I shall depart there!

Dear Coraima,
I was born in the Seychelles and after leaving for 10 years to work and study in the United States, I returned in 1989 to set up several businesses in the Seychelles.
Incidentally, I found your blog via Google alerts on Seychelles. It is interesting that you were afraid to swim in our waters. We have some of the cleanest, warmest waters in the world and there are no real dangerous sea creatures around, especially around the coastlines. The only danger is the stone fish (which looks like an old piece of coral), but apart from one known incident in 30 years which was not fatal, there is nothing to worry about. In fact, I would venture to say that you missed out on relaxing even more! Seychelles waters is quite therapeutic. You should even try snorkelling around the coastlines next time and enjoy the underwater life. It will also make you realize that there are no dangerous creatures out there waiting to get you. The sight of your first parrot fish will entice you to swim in our waters forever.
Please feel free to email me if you ever need more information on Seychelles and we look forward to welcoming you back one day.
Kind regards,
