Hotels vs. Riads in Morocco for Families
Before our first family trip to Morocco, I didn’t fully understand the difference between riads and hotels. I’d heard the words riad, kasbah, riad but wasn’t sure what made them unique. As a mom, I cared most about one thing: what’s actually better for my kids?

Da Mayor Trip
I’m going to tell you a story. The Story doesn’t end here, this is just the beginning. On November 19 I was surprisingly terminated from my job. And for dubious reasons as well. I enjoyed my job for the most part. The work was easy, I got a long with my co-workers for the most part and the benefits and time off allowed me to do what I wanted to do – travel, go places and do things, and most of all – not be at work!

The EXplorer
I am a follower of all things Travel and Adventure, my eyes light up at the discovery of a new flight route to Armenia, A camel trek in the Western Sahara or a Windsurfing trip in Naxos. I sometime discover information about destinations so far removed from any known tourist guides that I cannot even pinpoint them on the world map without tracing the steps of previous explorers with some kind of obsessive desire to find the answers. The thought of the unknown is what drives my spirit of adventure, I leave scribbles and notes in diaries about trips and ideas far into the future, even if they are not viable or I never embark on them, but each idea is what inspires and motivates me to keep taking those steps to find what is over the horizon.
