Current Rock of Residence:

Seychelles

Island Girl Since:

Birth

Originally Hails From:

Seychelles

Stephanie was born and raised on the island of Mahe in Seychelles and had never left the island until the age of 21 when she went to University in South Africa. As enjoyable and memorable as those 3 years away were, she claims that her heart was always yearning for her islands – the all year warm weather, the sunshine, and the white sandy beaches within easy reach. However, the thing that she missed the most was the atmosphere – the chill easy vibes that seem to be in the air. She has never been able to find that kind of atmosphere in any of the places that she has visited (granted, she has never been to any other tropical islands).

While she was away was when she realized that she is an island girl through and through and that she is very much attached to this particular rock. Over the past couple of years, she has developed an interest in creative writing. As a scientist, she has very little background in the field except for her extreme love for reading. So recently, she’s decided to try to develop her skills, learn how to write, and to try to see how far she can go.

If Once You Have Slept on An Island

If Once You Have Slept on An Island

A hundred year old poem that has stood the test of time... If once you have slept on an island You'll never be quite the same: You may look as you looked the day before And go by the same old name, You may bustle about in street and shop You may sit at home and sew,...

Either you are into searching, scouting and finding out new, (yeah, new what??), new everything or you are not. I belong to the first category.  For me part of living on a Rock is embracing the style/ways and quirkiness of that Rock. Having moved to a new Rock a year...
