About me

Ok, lets make a few things really clear -


I am not here to sell holidays to the Seychelles

I am non political

I am completely impartial

I do not work for any organisation

I do not get paid by anyone, my information is free

At times i may express an opinion, but i will be up front about it

I may express “informed” opinions – this means i actually know about any given topic or subject and will pass those opinions to you


SO WHY AM I DOING THIS?


I realised that tour operators DO NOT tell you the truth, they only want to make money out of you. Similarly with local government information services, such as the ones based on the Seychelles, WILL NOT give you the traveller the hard information that you sometimes require to assist with having a safe, trouble free visit.


I know a lot of info about the Seychelle islands, both good and bad – i will tell you how it really is.


I am a well travelled part Seychellois, my father is a Seychellois and we have many relatives living on Mahe and Praslin – i can inform you of the economy, tourism or business.


If you want to discuss any matter in more detail you can even call me and i will be happy to tell you what i know.
