Day 1. Rabat to Imlil.
After a few weeks of observing the weather, I finally decided to fulfill my dream of scaling Mt. Toubkal. Been eyeing this mountain since we arrived here in Morocco. There is that feeling that you really wanna go to the mountains and just chill. Since this is my first snow mountain, I equipped myself with proper...
This is an overdue article. I wrote this to raise awareness about the current condition of Filipino workers in Morocco. Few thousand Filipinos do exist in this northern part of Africa.

Shopping in Morocco, like in any other country, needs careful and timely planning. It is always loud, fast, and sometimes confusing when you are out there to pick your last-minute purchase.

When there’s a will, there’s a way. My longing to be in this mountain started last year after scaling Mt. Toubkal twice.

Considered to be the third highest mountain in Northern...

What is a Moroccan Carte De Séjour or Carte d'immatriculation? It is an identity card issued by the Kingdom of Morocco to foreign nationals who intends to live, work, study, reunite with their family in Morocco, conduct professional or business activity.
