Seychelles

Ever since I supervised a masters student who did his Minor Field Study (MFS) in the Seychelles back in 2016, I have been eyeing an island escape suitable for those darkest of November nights. As such, after having to cancel a number of award tickets due to the pandemic, Anna and I just booked two tickets with Ethiopian Airlines for 105,000 points roundtrip Umeå-Mahé on 23 November. Once on the island, we have booked an Airbnb apartment with our own kitchen for all five nights as most resorts on the Seychelles seem to offer questionable value for money. Obviously, it is anyone’s guess if it will actually be possible to travel by then but, with award travel, it does not really cost anything to dream.
