Oh hi, hello there. How are you? You look great! Is that a new pair of glasses? Those are cute. Me? Oh, I am doing just fine. If you ever wonder what do I do when I’m not busy accidentally make computers error, I involuntarily bring destructions upon myself. Yep, physically and psychologically.

Fes to Marrakech via Erg Chebbi Dunes - Part 2

And the trip continues

Day 3. Erg Chebbi Dune - Todra Gorge - Boulmane Dades

We woke up early that morning at the camp to enjoy the sunrise. Everyone at the camp tried to get up on the highest dune to get a better look of the sunrise. The thing is, do you know how hard it is to climb up a dune of sand...

Moroccan Sahara Camel Trekking and Camping

Until the year 2017, I have done camping TWICE in my entire life, you all. TWICE. Please note that this is actually some kind of grand achievements for me. I might seem like having a lot of savage manly traits in me, but deep down inside, I am a dainty, feminine lady. Spending nights in wilderness,...

Fes to Marrakech via Erg Chebbi Dunes - Part 1

I am sure that every one of us has been asked questions to which there is only one correct answer. Let say after a meal at a restaurant, the waiter comes to your table and ask if you would like a dessert, you say “yes”, no matter what you’ve had as a meal. “No” would be an appropriate response. Besi...

Meknes

It was a dreadful afternoon when we visited Meknes, Fes' sister city. The sun was acting like my mom when she found out I broke her antique vase and hid the shattered pieces under the wardrobe: unforgiving. I was drenched in my own sweat like a pickled gherkin, I was constantly thirsty, and the dust...

Bravo, Jakarta!

I flew back to Indonesia on last November to see family and friends and it was a goddamn mess. Not the friends and family, they were as great as always. I mean if any of them are reading this which I am sure they're not because they think blogging is so yesterday but that’s okay, I love them an...

Volubilis, everlasting proof of Roman Settlement in Fes

We had plenty of time in Fes, like five days and four nights…

Okay, I admit, it’s not even a week, but in my defends five days could be a full life span for some kind of insects out there. Although our stay was relatively short in Fes, we managed to not only enjoy the Fes Medina (and got lost in i...

12 Charms of Fes

Fez or Fes, in which both writings should be read as FeZZZ (with big and multiple z, because it is that exotic), is full of charm and memories, especially its medina. Whose memories? Everyone's and every soul's that has lived or visited this magical place. I kid you not, the medina dates back almost...

MNBAQ

It was Wednesday and the temperature was “only” -8 Celcius (you know you have been in Quebec for too long when you think -8 C is rather comfortable). After being kept indoor since before the new year due to the polar vortex where the temperature plunged below -25 C, I was bored numb. Even Netflix co...

And Then We Got Scammed in Morocco, Thrice!

Guys, I meant to pour down all the stories about Morocco before Christmas but it seems like it will never happen. Mostly because it’s too much snow Christmas season and all its glitters makes me want to write everything Christmas-y instead of everything Morocco-y like I am supposed to.

I was going t...
