Seychellois people are very friendly and easy going. A simple hello will be enough.

Your friendship are very welcome.

Agreed. A small hello and Hi is enough. Sooner or later the same person probably will see you on the road and call you...

Seychellois people are very friendly and nice but don't allow you easily into their small circles. Respect the difference in cultures and don't try too hard to fit in...you won't. Racism and prejudice is alive and well in the Seychelles.
If you are really desperate for making friends join a sport club. Maybe after some time has passed and people got to know you they will allow you into their group.

hello Ebong Chulton,

Welcome !

I don't think that friends will help you get in touch with companies for employment.

If you are looking for a job, please create your CV in the Jobs in Seychelles section of the website so that it is accessible to potential employers.

You may also search for opportunities on the following website : https://jobo.sc/?v=e5919ba9cf2e

And start networking on LinkedIn.

All the best

Hello!

I am I am the Rev. Fr. Canon Dr. Tchinda Prince. I am an Anglican trained Lutheran Priest from Yaoundé - Cameroon.

I fell so in love with this beautiful island nation when I learned about some interesting common realities between Seychelles and Cameroon like it's British / French heritage. It will be my desire to have friends in the Seychelles as it is my potential destination for a few months of missionary probation.

Yours truly
