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

If you're moving with someone and your partner will be a dependent, ask for $2000 or more. Yes, you can own a vehicle but they cost a bomb here but it's well worth driving around in your own car. Read More
