Morocco is My Dream Come True

"Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning." ― Gloria Steinem

 

Morocco has been my dearest travel dream for over 20 years, and for secret reasons I'd been saving it. But I decided the wait should end, and this morning I arrive at last, after a quick seven-hour nonstop flight on Air Maroc from JFK, to Casablanca. I'm incredibly grateful to have been invited by the Moroccan National Tourism Office, along with a group of select travel advisors, to experience Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains, Essaouira, and the Agafay Desert while visiting, dining, and sleeping in some of the country's finest hotels.

 

This is literally my dream come true, and I'm so thankful to be able to share it with you. Below is a list of places we're planning on going. I invite you to follow along with me on Instagram and Facebook, where each day I plan to post images and facts about Morocco I'm sure will be sensational.
