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...

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...

Discover Rabat

Whenever we travel, Nico take a lot of pics. Like a bucket load of it (which I am honestly grateful for). He is into taking pics and he is pretty good at it, so I let the boy have fun with his new-found hobby. He also encourages me to take pics too while we travel, he even bought me two new cameras ...

The Monkeys of Morocco

Morocco is literally a melting pot of Arabic, Jewish, Berber, and European cultures, located at the horn of the African continent, a straight away from Europe, and just right next door to the Middle East. The country is rich in culture and history, with a land that seems to have been tailor-made for...

Hassan II Mosque

Casablanca was our gate for setting our feet on African soil for the first time ever, and we couldn’t be more excited. I have been told by many that although Morocco is geographically located in the African continent, it does not have much resemblance with the rest of Africa. Either in terms of race...

Playa Crystal at Tayrona park: epically awesome

I read a lot of travel blogs that wrote about the hidden paradise of the north coast of Colombia; Tayrona National Park. Well, not so hidden anymore apparently. Tons of articles about the conservation park, that the Colombians are very proud of, shows that the park has become one of the most visited...

Gente de Mar, Rosario Islands

When someone mentions the word Cartagena, nice weather, cold drinks, beaches, and fresh pineapple come to mind. You do find those things in Cartagena for sure. Worry not, I am not going to blabber about Cartagena’s nice weather today, because as a coastal region, Cartagena is bound to have a nice co...

Choco Museo

I found two new vending machines in my office building, y’all! They are hidden underneath the stairs in one of the building’s entrance lobbies. This discovery has led to numerous irresponsible trips for snacks during critical hours at work (critical hours means when I start to starve and act like I’...

Fav Colombia Street Food Champions

Unlike most adults in my age that seem to have figured out their lives, I somehow still struggle to understand some basic knowledge, like understanding the four cardinal directions and deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger (but then again, aren’t we all?). But today I am not going to ...

El Penon de Guatapé

After 5 full days in Salento, we decided to move on to the next city; Medellin. Salento doesn't have any bus terminal, it has this small kiosk that sells bus tickets with a hand-written board of what bus goes where, when and the fare. We took the earliest bus that leaves Salento and paid about 20 US...
