Seychelles

We my first visit to Africa turned out to be on the Seychelles, not a bad start then. No list of the worlds best beaches would be accurate without the Seychelles taking the top spots. If you look up “Robinson Crusoe” or Tropical Island Paradise in the dictionary it will say see the Seychelles. Jokes aside, this was a wonderful place with epic scenery and warm hearted people. A true highlight of my traveling career. The only downside is that it is relatively expensive and not easy to get to.
