Jay and I are gearing up for our next major expedition.
Rather than chasing a new passport stamp, we are heading back to the Maghreb for a proper, month-long immersion. It has been sixteen years since our first brief scouting run in Morocco, so this time we're executing a comprehensive "circle route." We arrive in Casablanca on May 28th for a few nights and then push straight up to the Kasbah in Tangier. From there, we ascend into the vibrant blue streets of Chefchaouen and then dive into the sprawling labyrinth of the Fes Medina. After Fes, we are planning a deliberate, three-night journey carving through the Atlas Mountains down to Marrakech. From there, we will push out to the Atlantic coast, taking our time before finally closing the loop and returning to Casablanca for our flight home on June 24th. We’re keeping the schedule loose, leaving plenty of room for the spontaneous friction of the road.
