Morocco diaries 10: Safi
My final stop on my one-month Morocco trip before heading back to Marrakesh for my flight was a coastal town called Safi. The reason I had plans to go to Safi was because a Couchsurfing host who lives there had reached out to me on the Couchsurfing app to invite…

Morocco diaries 9: Rabat
I travelled to Rabat on the train from Tangier. It was my first Morocco train experience and to be honest it was pretty similar to trains in England, except the trains in Morocco had two levels of seating (like a ground floor and a first floor), which I found was…

Morocco diaries 8: Tangier
Tangier was my third-to-last stop in Morocco before heading back to Marrakesh for my flight. I was lucky enough to find another kind Couchsurfing host to stay with there (honestly I’d say Morocco is probably the best country for Couchsurfing out of everywhere I’ve ever been). He lived in a…

Morocco diaries 7: Chefchaouen
Since Googling “places to go in Morocco” just before the trip, I knew I wanted to stop at Chefchaouen aka “The Blue City” because it might be my only chance in my life to see a blue city! I had just spent two days in Fes, and from there I…

Morocco diaries 6: Fes/Fez
Around half way through my one-month Morocco trip, I travelled from a Couchsurfing host family in Er-Rich to meet a Couchsurfing host in Fes/Fez (it can be spelt either way but I’m going to go with the Fes spelling for the rest of the article). I took a local bus…

Morocco diaries 5: Er-Rich
My second Couchsurfing host in Morocco was based in the town of Er-Rich. I travelled there on what was probably my least favourite bus I took in the whole of Morocco. I can’t remember the name of the company (it wasn’t CTM or Supratours) but the bus was so packed…

Morocco diaries 4: Tinghir
By this point in the one month Morocco trip, I’d spent a day in Marrakesh and a week in Zagora doing a Workaway (volunteering in exchange for accommodation and food). I decided I wanted to slowly move towards the coast from Zagora, so I looked at a map and decided…

Morocco diaries 3: Workaway
At this point in the trip I’d been in Morocco for 2 nights (see previous Morocco diaries) and the plan was now to move on to a place called Zagora to do what’s called a Workaway. If you don’t already know, Workaway is a website for travellers to find hosts…

Morocco diaries 2: Marrakesh
As you might have seen in Morocco diaries part 1, I had decided to book two nights in a hostel in Marrakesh (it was called Riad Jennah Rouge) to basically spend one full day there before moving on to a different part of Morocco. I had a decent sleep in…

Morocco diaries 1: arriving in Marrakesh
In September I decided to randomly go to Morocco, basically because there was a cheap flight and I wanted to go somewhere new that wouldn’t be cold and that wouldn’t be too expensive. The flight I’d found landed in Marrakesh, which was the only city in Morocco I’d really heard…

Morocco travel apps/websites
I recently spent a month travelling around Morocco and I didn’t really plan it out too much before going there, which meant I was often quickly/spontaneously deciding my next move every few days while I was out there. There were some apps and websites that made this a lot easier…

Morocco as a vegan
In October 2023 I spent a month backpacking around Morocco, so by the end I was pretty accustomed to surviving there as a vegan on a budget. It definitely wasn’t my favourite country for vegan food, but it also wasn’t my least favourite. The aspect of the food that I…
