Super Powers to Seychelles.


I had an interesting question asked to me today, "If you could have one super power, what would it be?" Without much hesitation, I replied "Teleporting with the snap of my finger". It seemed simple, at any moment in time I could think of my desired destination and without more than a quick finger snap, I would appear there.

Not short after this conversation, I learned about the amazing Republic of Seychelles.


"Seychelles’ 115 granite and coral islands extend from between 4 and 10 degrees south of the equator and lie between the east coast of Africa in the western Indian Ocean.

The cosmopolitan Seychellois are a colourful blend of peoples of different races, cultures and religions.  At different times in its history, people of African, European and Asian origin have come to Seychelles, bringing with them their distinct traditions and customs and contributing to the way of life and to the vibrant Seychellois culture.

One can see these influences at work throughout the domains of local art, cuisine, music, dance and architecture."


 Of course, I pondered about how ideal it would be if I actually could transport to these islands at this moment.


Instead, I thought I'd write to this and let others know about the amazing gem that lies within the Indian Ocean. Ah, Seychelles-- I'll get to you someday.
