Formerly entitled “Lindsay Clark Makes My STA Travel Intern Dreams Come True.” -Desmond Tutu This job, what you are asking someone to do, is what I do already, not because I have to, but because I can’t stop. www.nomadderwhere.com I’ve jumped onto moving trains in India with multiple backpack in tow, boarded planes, buses and scooters in Vietnam with no plan, no warning, or companion alongside my impromptu adventures, worked the consulates in my favor when everyone told me I couldn’t get a visa in time for my flight six hours later, become a champion haggler, and developed a flawless gut instinct for people, situations, and potential adventures. I believe I’d truly know how to appreciate the tours provided by STA, as I’ve experienced some rough and potentially dangerous stuff solo. I don’t just pretend to love this travel, blog, photography, video thing you’re offering, nor am I turned onto it just because it’s that time of year again. I’ve made this lifestyle my unofficial job, the kind that costs you a lot and pays you in good timescheck out my blog and see what I mean. This is no part-time passion, son.
Experience medieval Morocco in Fes, Discover the ruins of one sultan’s Versailles dream in Meknes, Have a camping adventure on the sandy dunes of the Sahara, Have lunch with locals in a kasbah, Trek through the impressive Todra Gorge, Relax with mint tea in remote Imlil, Kick back in the stunning coastal town of Essaouira, Indulge your senses in the souqs of Marrakech, Explore the fortified city of Ait Benhaddou. Aromatic tagines, palm-spotted, red-earthed landscapes and limitless generosity define the true warmth of the Maghreb. Any visit, whether one week or one month, will give you a glimpse of the friendliness, hospitality, vibrancy and flavour of this Berber-Arab-Spanish-Portuguese-French melting pot in a country whose landscape varies as much as its culture and history. The thousands of street cafes lining the boulevards and highways from Tangiers to Laayoune attest to the fact that Morocco and Moroccans must be observed intently, lingeringly and preferably over a long cup of coffee. While I can’t prolong my small cup of ‘nos-nos’ (half espresso, half milk) as long as a Moroccan, I’m always up for the challenge, be it in a sunny Essaouiran cafe or on a rooftop terrace in Marrakech or overlooking the valleys and mountains of the High Atlas. Are you?
