bio

Hello! I'm Abi! After years of crunching numbers as an Investment Banker by day & moonlighting as a travel writer by night, I realized my calling lies not in spreadsheets—but in sunsets, street food, and stories waiting to be lived. I’ve traded boardrooms for bustling markets and financial reports for temple whispers. Now, as your host, I fuse my knack for seamless planning with a deep hunger for culture, history, and getting lost in beautiful landscapes. Forget rigid itineraries; we chase connection over checklists, feast with locals, and wander with purpose.
Yes, I can budget a million-dollar deal, but my real talent is finding Bangkok’s best mango sticky rice!
Let’s turn wanderlust into your most joyful adventure yet.

Evenings bring rooftop lounges with live music and a camel trek through the golden Agafay Desert, capped off with a lavish farewell dinner under the stars. From bustling souks to serene desert nights, get ready to chase connections, flavors, and unforgettable moments with friends old and new.

-We’ll pause for a hearty lunch with local flavors before returning to the city for a traditional hammam experience. Experience the rejuvenation of traditional baths and steam rooms, a time-honored tradition of Morocco.

-The rest of the day is yours to relax or dive deeper into Marrakech’s vibrant streets, perhaps by checking out Jemaa el-Fna to see street performers, storytellers, and grab some bites from the lively street food stalls. You might even choose to visit Bacha Coffee for a sip of their famous blends grown locally, the perfect pick-me-up before evening adventures. Craving a little luxury?
