bio

Hello there, I'm Antony - a passionate
traveller, “iPhone shutterbug” and trip planner. I’ve traveled to over 170 countries and territories and lived in a dozen countries around the planet. I have loved travelling for as long as I can remember. I curated this Morocco trip because I truly believe travel is the best way to connect with new places and people. It's all about exploring, enjoying local culture, and creating unforgettable experiences together. If you're ready for an adventure with like-minded travelers, I'd love for you to join me!

Morocco > Wander & Capture: Morocco’s Hidden Corners with Antony

Step into a photographer’s dream destination, where every day brings a new backdrop with ancient medinas, cinematic kasbahs, wild coastlines, and legendary film sets. This journey is packed with hands-on photo sessions in places most tourists totally miss, like the labyrinthine alleys of Marrakech, the mudbrick towers of Aït Benhaddou, and the breezy ramparts of Essaouira. You’ll get up close with Morocco’s vibrant culture, epic architecture, and jaw-dropping landscapes, all while hanging out with a crew that’s just as stoked about capturing the perfect shot as you are. Led by a pro photographer, this trip is built for adventurous creatives who want more than just the usual postcard snaps. Expect insider access, plenty of free time to explore, and a vibe that’s equal parts adventure and creative inspiration – if you’re looking to level up your portfolio, make new friends, and experience the real Morocco through your lens, this is the trip to book!
