Morocco – a land, wild and warm, where the desert whispers and the souks pulse.
On our road trip through this world, I found a play of sand and life, silence and chaos – from the golden dunes of the Sahara to the narrow alleys of Marrakesh. The endless expanse of the desert met the vibrant bustle of the markets – a dance between solitude and color.

My travel stories from Morocco capture this contrast – a breath of the desert that touches the soul.
