Prepping for my next adventure: Morocco! 🇲🇦

Morocco is a vibrant mix of culture, history, and gorgeous landscapes—a dream destination for travelers seeking adventure and a taste of the exotic!

🌟 Why visit Morocco?
• Wander the colorful streets of Chefchaouen, the famous “Blue City.”
• Immerse yourself in the scents and flavors of Moroccan cuisine—think tagine, couscous, and mint tea!
• Discover ancient history at UNESCO sites like the Roman ruins of Volubilis.
• Explore dramatic natural wonders like the Atlas Mountains and the vast Sahara.

💡 Fun Facts About Morocco:
• The Moroccan city of Fes is home to the world’s oldest university, the University of Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859 AD.
• Morocco produces nearly 80% of the world’s argan oil, often referred to as “liquid gold.”
• The Sahara Desert covers approximately 30% of Morocco’s total land area!

As a travel advisor, I invest my own money and time into exploring destinations firsthand. Why? Because experiencing a location in person helps me better serve and qualify my clients, ensuring you get the best recommendations for your journey.

💼 Is your travel advisor truly traveling? Don’t worry—I got you! Follow along as I bring Morocco to life and prepare to design your next adventure to this incredible destination.

I can’t wait to eat and drink my way through this country!

🚨 PSA FROM YOUR FAVORITE TRAVEL ADVISOR! 🚨

📌 Spring Break or Summer Travel? Plan NOW! If you’re dreaming of a getaway in March-August, it’s time to get moving—yesterday would’ve been even better. 😉

📌 Pricing is up everywhere. What $2k bought you a few years ago might cost double (or more) now. I wish I had access to a secret stash of discounted airfare and resorts, but alas, I don’t. The earlier you book, the better your chances at snagging the best pricing and availability!

📌 “Deals” are harder to find. Playing the waiting game can backfire, leaving you with fewer choices and higher prices. Resorts and flights sell out, and when that happens, discounts aren’t even on the table. Booking early = smarter spending.

📌 Summer availability is already shrinking. No scare tactics here—this comes straight from the research I’ve been doing for my current clients. Early planning gets you the best flights, resorts, and yes, better pricing.

📌 Wave Season (January-April) = Peak Travel Booking Time. This is one of the busiest seasons in our industry, so your patience with replies is incredibly appreciated. I promise I’m not ignoring you—I’m just juggling lots of dream vacations! ❤️

📌 Pricing is time-sensitive. When I send you a quote, it won’t last long! Availability and prices can change daily, so the best time to lock in your trip is when you’re ready to book.

I can’t wait to send you on the vacation of your dreams! Seeing your travel photos and knowing I helped make those moments happen truly warms my heart. 🌎

**Important Travel Update for 2025**

Starting January 8, 2025, travelers heading to the United Kingdom will need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). Applications will open on November 27, 2024, with a fee of £10. The ETA is valid for two years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

Please note that the UK is not part of the EU, and this requirement is separate from the proposed ETA for travel to mainland Europe, which has been delayed. The UK government has already implemented this policy, and travelers should plan accordingly. If you're visiting England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland after January 8, be sure to mark November 27 on your calendar as the date to apply!

For more information, visit the official UK government website below 👇🏽

List of nationalities that will soon be able to apply for an ETA.
