What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?
East coast USA. It is long, and expensive. You can do it in one stop via Paris, but that is the most expensive flight, or two stops for cheaper. Takes at least two days though and no less than $1000. Travel on and off of this island is the hardest part of being here. Limited flights and expensive. We have direct flights to South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, France, Dubai, Seychelles, and Mauritius, and that has doubled since I have been here. - Apr 2025
