Bonzour!!!
We are a young fun loving and adventure filled family that on Mahe in the Seychelles. We reside in a district called Bel Air; It is a quiet hilly area, surrounded by mountains and great views. Victoria city centre is a 2 min walk away. Guests are welcome to stay in the ensuite bedroom. Our living room and dining room are where we read, play board games and eat daily family dinners together.
My oldest Son Eric (age 17) is a football fanatic, is fascinated with the human mind and is quite the extrovert...while My youngest, Dean (age15) is a quiet artist who create in his own space, bakes and play volleyball. As for myself; I was a former art teacher for 11 years at the international school so my passions are tied in with arts and crafts of all forms. As a family we love going to the beach, hiking and trail walking as well as exploring in nature.
English is the primary language at home, we do speak Creole and I am fluent in Swahili.
Byenveni Sesel!!!
