Seychelles

Official Travel Stamp Vinyl Sticker, brought to you by Postmaster Carlos!

White sand beaches framed by granite boulders define this Indian Ocean archipelago of 115 islands. Unique species like the Aldabra giant tortoise and coco de mer palm make their home here, as do two UNESCO world heritage sites: Vallée de Mai Nature Preserve and Aldabra Atoll. The local Creole culture intertwines traditions from Africa, Europe, and Asia which reflects in the language, art, architecture, and cuisine.

"When I noticed that I could recommend a stamp, I thought what more than to recommend a stamp with a country that I’ve visited (and adore) and turtles! Seeing a turtle on a stamp would be amazing alone. Something else to keep in mind is the country flag. It’s one of a kind and absolutely unique. I initially stumbled upon the rocks while on a scuba trip off the island. As I rode on the boat heading to our scuba location, these rocks were one of a kind and I’ve never seen anything like it. A huge mountain volcano in the background, gigantic rocks, and lush green vegetation in between. As I rode on a boat above crystal clear waters, I soaked in the view as much as I could. This trip to Silhouette Island, and the Seychelles, was just under a week. It was all the time I needed to fall in love with this place." - Postmaster Carlos
