As Hans Christian Anderson pointed out
To move, to breathe, to fly, to float,
To gain all while you give,
To roam the roads of lands remote,
To travel is to live.
So, visiting Seychelles is like visiting a taste of Indian Ocean Paradise, and it is affordable and also memorable for your bucket list.
