I have been to Morocco multiple times, and find myself always going back. I love the food, the culture and the weather. From Italy or London it’s one of the easiest places to travel to in winter if you’re looking for sun and warmth, without flying half way across the world.

I’ve been to Marrakech three times now and twice to the coast, but am yet to explore the north. I love the surfing in Morocco and the desert glamping experiences.

Next time I visit I’m planning to travel more around the country and see other cities. In the meanwhile, you can check out all my top Morocco travel tips here!
