Getting an IT Job in Seychelles by AlexS1978
I was recently in Seychelles (Praslin, La Digue and Mahe) and I loved the country and climate and the atmosphere. I usually read around about the country I'm visiting and I read that Seychelles is trying to build up their financial and IT ...

Word of mouth is definitely correct! Most of us locals know a lot of people, and it starts by someone saying “hey this company is looking for someone, let me know if you know anyone” and it starts like that, and the person gets employed ... Read More


Playdate for homeschooled kids by Girl4granted
Hi all, Our family moved to Mahe from RSA about three weeks ago. I am homeschooling my two little ones (3 and 5 years old) but they are missing their friends. Is there any homeschooling groups on the island? Or any mom keen to meet up once a week ...

Homeschooling is not really practised in Seychelles. But if you want your kids to meet other kids a great way to do this would be to enroll them in activities such as swimming (at the Roche Caiman national swimming pool), dance or music. Lots of ... Read More

Housing cost range by slowloris
Hi all, I've looked through a lot of seychelles related sites and even this forum but would really just like some rough range of prices of rental housing there. I have been offered a position in the Seychelles and would be bringing wife and 4 yr ...

Hi Slowloris, lots of people rent out houses. I will send you a link via private message. Read More


moving to seyhelles by sjleitner
i am moving to the seychelles in the next few months and am looking to meet and speak with people who can give me info on what it will be like.

Hi sjleitner! I live on Mahe (my mum is Seychellois). My friends and I actually go to Praslin when we need that 'island vacation' getaway! I absolutely love Praslin, but if you're moving from a big city or a big town, adaptation might be very, ... Read More


Hi Everyone! by tropicalweb
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum! I'm half-Seychellois and have been living in Seychelles for about half of my life. I'm here to network and to help with Seychelles-related questions. You're very welcome to ask me for my perspective on things. :D

Raffles is located on Praslin which is a rather small island. It might take you a while to make a lot of friends but it's possible to make friends nonetheless. I have a good friend on Praslin, feel free to send me a private message and I can give ... Read More


Expat blog gatherings in the Seychelles by Julien
Hi all! What about meeting the other Seychelles members in real life? Organizing an meet up would be an excellent way to know them! :) An meet up can be a diner gathering, having coffee, a bring and share in a ...

I'm actually a local blogger, so I think it might actually be fun to meet gers (or even local bloggers) here in Seychelles. I don't know exactly how many there are, but I'm sure that there is only a handful of us here. Read More

Hi monty83, It's hard to properly estimate at this point because expenditures vary largely depending on individuals and families. I don't really know what "Indian food items" would consist of (can you specify?). A few examples of the price of ... Read More


Ready for a change by lili nicole
My dream has always been to live 12 degrees above or below the equator. This is where I feel happiest and at peace. What is important to me: I live on an island, walking distance from the ocean. For some time I've known I needed to make a change ...

Hi lili nicole! There's a high demand for qualified people in our environmental sector. So much so that there are fresh graduates jumping to director positions within 1-2 years of employment. We really lack experienced people doing the job ... Read More

Hi Katerina! :) I live on Mahe island, but I do go to Praslin to visit some friends once in a while. I don't think you'll have problems finding accommodation on Praslin. I actually find it quite odd that your employer has not made arrangements ... Read More


Meeting people in the Seychelles by SWest
I visited The Seychelles in 2009 with my late husband and fell in love with the place. I intend to visit again in April for a holiday with a view to looking at the viability of living there and writing. As I will be living quite alone, I would ...

Well, locals don't normally hang out alone, but since you'll be looked at as a foreigner you won't really look out of place because we're sort of aware that foreigners have a completely different culture. Clubbing is what people do here to meet ... Read More
