The best trips happen when you accidentally spot a cheap flight just two weeks in advance and book it without a second thought. The consequences, like shifting originally planned business meetings or private events, are a problem for later. I would call this a “bookcident” đ
Fes was the final stop of the journey, selected mainly for its convenient airport. The cityâs expansive medina, Fes el Bali, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and stood out as the most beautiful one the author encountered in Morocco. As the cultural and spiritual heart of the country, it offers a unique and vibrant atmosphere. A major culinary highlight during the visit was the tagine, with the meatball and goat cheese variety being a personal favorite. Ultimately, Fes provided a beautiful and fitting conclusion to the Moroccan adventure.
From racing dune buggies to witnessing the clearest Milky Way imaginable, the Sahara is a world of its own. Unlike the rocky Atacama, Merzouga is an ocean of sand. The camel ride was overrated, but the star-filled nights were absolutely unforgettableâI still have a stiff neck from looking up!
In Tangier, I took on my next adventure: renting a car to drive in Moroccan traffic. In general, the roads and the number of petrol stations are very good. But the traffic sometimes drove me crazy!

From the disappointment of Casablanca to the elegance of Rabat: my train journey up the Moroccan coast was full of surprises. While Casablanca offered only the stunning Hassan II Mosque, Rabat felt like home, and Tangier brought luxury and San Francisco vibes. A perfect mix of history, architecture, and ocean views.

Plus, I rank my top three sightsâfrom ruins to masterpiecesâand take a day trip to the famous filming locations of AĂŻt Benhaddou.
Since returning from my world trip, I’ve had to tell my story quite often. It turned out that telling the story about the places I have been is only half as exciting as the stories about what I’ve learned. How penguins pay for intercourse, how the Moai on Rapa Nui were built, or that more …
Most of my trips I do as a solo traveller. This has primarily to do with my job. While travelling for work, I always try to âadd some private daysâ. Secondly, as a long-term single, I want to travel anyway. Read here about the advantages and disadvantages of being a solo traveller.
I decided to visit the Algarve during the summer, a destination long on my travel list. With only a week off, it was the perfect opportunity to fly there! Although it was peak season, being there during this time wasn’t the disadvantage I anticipated.
Thanks to a well-timed long weekend and a lucky find on a cheap flight, I had the perfect chance to check out Edinburgh, Scotland’s super cool capital. I have seen the underneath of Edinburgh, saw a famous train, and had some fish and chips.
