Trip to Morocco

A spontaneous winter escape to Morocco! When I found $100 round-trip flights from Katowice, Poland, it was impossible to say no. Morocco has a population of around 37 million and sits at the crossroads of Africa and Europe, with a rich blend of Arab, Berber, and French influences.

Fun fact: Morocco is one of the few places in the world where you can see goats climbing argan trees to eat their fruit - and yes, that was the main highlight of my trip!

What I Experienced

The warmth was a welcome change from the Polish winter. Even in late November, temperatures were pleasant enough for exploring. The country has a unique energy - vibrant markets, stunning architecture, and landscapes that shift from coastal towns to desert edges.

I explored the coastal areas and was surprised to learn that Morocco is actually a popular surfing destination. The Atlantic coast offers great waves, especially around Taghazout. That's definitely on my list for next time.

The local cuisine was a treat - tagines, couscous, and endless mint tea. The medinas are a maze of colors, scents, and sounds that feel like stepping back in time.

Practical Notes

• Budget airlines from Poland make Morocco incredibly accessible
• November is a great time to visit - warm but not too hot
• Surfing is unexpectedly good along the Atlantic coast
• The goat trees are a must-see (they're real!)
• Haggling is expected in markets - start at half the asking price
