Nature, Presence, and Purpose Reimagined in the Heart of the Indian Ocean

Seychelles, April 2025 — In a world that rarely slows down, the Abrahao Kohl family found something rare in Seychelles: stillness, perspective, and healing. What began as a family vacation soon transformed into a profound journey of reconnection—with nature, with each other, and with themselves.

Gisele Abrahão Kohl, alongside her husband Chris and children Giovanna (12) and Thomas (10), set out to explore the Indian Ocean archipelago expecting beauty. What they discovered was something far deeper: a living ecosystem where conservation is culture, and where nature—when allowed to lead—does more than survive. It heals. And so do we.

“These are the gifts Seychelles offers: not just beauty, but stillness. Not escape, but presence,” Chris wrote in his travel journal.

From witnessing the miracle of sea turtle hatchings under a moonlit sky to biking alongside giant Aldabra tortoises and snorkeling through vibrant coral gardens, every moment on the islands became a lesson in presence. The children didn't just observe wildlife—they engaged, asked questions, and absorbed the fragile realities of our planet. Conservation became tangible. Responsibility became real.

Seychelles—formed by ancient geological processes and protected through innovative ecological programs—is home to species found nowhere else on Earth. But more than rare flora and fauna, what stands out is its ethos: a harmonious coexistence of people and planet. On islands like Alphonse and North Island, full ecological restoration efforts reflect a commitment to long-term balance. Sustainable tourism is not a buzzword here—it is embedded in every experience.

“For us, Seychelles wasn't a break from life—it was a return to what matters most,” Gisele shared. “It became a space to recalibrate as a family, to deepen our bond, and to embrace the silence that often holds the answers we didn't know we needed.”

Their travel was made seamless by Turkish Airlines, offering smooth and comfortable connections from across the globe, and by Creole Travel Services, who provided expert ground coordination with warmth and insight. The family's journey—supported by excellence in logistics—allowed them to focus entirely on what mattered: presence, purpose, and connection.

Seychelles: Not Just a Destination, but a Mirror

In an age of disconnection and distraction, Seychelles invites travelers into a different rhythm—one where slowness becomes strength, and nature becomes teacher. The experience of the Abrahao Kohl family is a powerful reminder that true luxury lies not just in beautiful views, but in meaningful experiences that transform us from within.

This is not just a story about travel. It is a story about healing, about raising children with awareness and awe, and about how places like Seychelles hold space for reconnection—in every sense of the word.
