She opens up about safety, cultural expectations, and why hiring a private driver completely transformed her experience. Along the way, she highlights Morocco’s unmatched hospitality, the magic of staying in riads and desert camps, and how leaning into local support made the trip not just easier, but deeply meaningful.
