Journeys can catalyze profound personal growth. While destinations may inspire transformation, the real evolution happens within the traveler themselves.

Most of you know I much prefer off the beaten path experiences to the typical tourist spots. I don’t pick places based on popularity or trends.

We ventured out of the desert, passing by packs of camels, driving once again through the dunes until we reached the main road again.

After spending a few days in Marrakech, I was excited to wake up early and hit the road for the most anticipated part of our trip: the Sahara Desert road trip.

Morocco has always been one of those mysterious, exotic places on my bucket list, but only recently did it really pop up on my radar.
