How to Prepare for Morocco

Description

A destination like Morocco is instantly one that inspires adventure, excitement and discovery. Pushing your comfort zone and experiencing something new and different. But it's one thing to try some new food or sleep in a luxury tent in the desert, it's another to have not known to bring warm enough clothes, or to be stuck climbing multiple flights of stairs in your riad, because you didn't know they don't have elevators... Our conversation today addresses lots of practical tips for travellers, with questions like clothing and accessibility in mind. A lot of it comes down to the type of trip you are on: a solo or independent adventure, a private or small group tour, or a large group tour. Large being more than about 25 people. You don't want to go on a large tour. Azdean is joined by producer Ted to look at the unique challenges of winter travel, including accommodation heating issues, cultural differences, and mobility considerations. We always recommend staying in riads if at all possible, but the reality is, 99% are not designed with accessibility in mind. Most are at least 4 or 5 floors, with stairs the only access. You can research and request a room on the ground floor, if one exists, but you might ultimately need to consider a hotel or a more modern accommodation, depending on your needs. However, riads are still open for visits and meals, so make every effort to check out at least a couple. And in turn, don't forget that your hotel needs to be in a suitable location as well, easy to access, and in a quiet neighborhood, not next to the clubs! We encourage you to try new things and be open to new experiences while you're in Morocco, there's nothing else like it. Today's episode just helps you become a little more familiar, and thus a little more comfortable, with the adventure that awaits. --- *Join me for an 8-Day Boutique Moroccan Experience* Step inside the hidden Morocco on this first-of-its-kind, 12-spot journey, hosted personally by Azdean.
