A dream came true

For a few years, I had been dreaming of visiting Morocco. I was especially attracted by its unique landscapes, the desert and its culture.

I've just been there with two friends of mine, Maud and Sarah (VT-member ptitetoile). We focused on the south of the country having only ten days holiday. And as we knew someone there (Kamal), we were immediately well introduced to the Moroccan culture. We even did Ramadan !! Well, let's say we did our best ;-)

Now that I'm back, I just dream of one thing : go there again ... and longer, inch Allah !!! What I saw in reality was actually much better than expected. I would have never thought that it was so beautiful and that the people were so incredibly nice and friendly. Meeting them really warmed my heart and made of my trip a unique and unforgettable experience.
