bio

Hi, I'm Brittany, a solo female traveler on a teacher budget. I curated this Morocco trip because I love exploring the world, meeting new people, and of course enjoying incredible food where ever I go. I’ve traveled solo to Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, but would love to share this trip with others. Join me on this adventure where we will explore the vibrant medina of Marrakech, admire stunning Islamic architecture, venture through the sandy dunes of the Sahara, and more!
