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. What are their struggles before, during, and after lockdown? I want their families way back home to realize that life here isn’t sugar sweet. Behind those smiles you...
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...
Imagine yourself sitting at the backseat of the grand taxi while listening to an unfamiliar tune with a constant shift of languages from Darija to French and Arabic or appreciating nature while inside a bus bound for Chefchaouen. It sounds like a dream. My wife and I had been living here in Morocco for almost 2 years now and...

Compared to Fernando, I don't really prepare my trips. I don't research much so I can really be surprised and I can keep low expectations also... maybe. We heard the city has been chosen as “Top Destination for Tourists to Visit in 2019” by Australia Vogue Magazine. As we had a long weekend in January, we thought it would...
I do not intend to write about this wonderful trip in Laâyoune & Khnifiss National Park but my good friend Tarek was right, just put it on standby article and publish whenever I feel like sharing. Hell yeah! I guess it's worth it sharing especially the navigation part since there's no public transportation going to the park. It was...

Meknѐs and Fѐs were merged from its previous...
My wife and I had been living here in Morocco for quite sometimes and we love to explore all the local cuisine around. So far tried some of them. I know that we still have a lot to try. I’m pretty sure we will taste them all. Food is always part of the culture. Every country has its own...
Tired of the usual Moroccan destinations? Want to avoid the stress from people offering anything for you to buy? Are you an art person? If yes, then head to Asilah. An ancient town about 46km south of Tangier. Built by the Portuguese in the 15th century, its ramparts and gates signify the rich history embedded in those walls. We visited...
