Category Archives: Africa Driving along Morocco’s Atlantic Coast, I learned a lot of new words, like medinas, souqs, and hammams. This post defines these terms through our visits to El Jadida and Essaouira, two fascinating ancient Moroccan coastal cities. There are lots of pretty photos of our visits, too!  After spending 6 months in Europe, Morocco sure is a shock to the senses! In this post, I discuss what it feels like to travel in Morocco after Europe as well as some of my first sensory impressions. We’re looking forward to spending a few months in this complex, beautiful, and whirlwind of a country!  Less than a year after taking a ferry OUT of Africa, we’ve taken one back INTO Africa. In this post, I describe my concerns leading up to our departure, the ins and outs of the ferry from Spain to Morocco (including costs and a recommended shipping agent), and what it feels like to be back again in Africa, our favorite continent.  Wandering Footsteps will soon be heading back on the road! Over the next several months, we’ll be sharing stories and photos about hikes in Spain, coastal drives through the Iberian Peninsula, bush-camping in the Sahara, souqs and food in Morocco, and more. Subscribe and stay-tuned for an exciting and eventful fall and winter 2015!  Wandering Footsteps has faithfully charted my development as a person, a traveler, and a writer for an entire decade. I’ve shared reflections, profound experiences, funny stories, challenging moments, inspiring encounters, and lessons learned. Through Wandering Footsteps, I’ve become who I am today. |
