    I just wanted to tell you that what you are doing is amazing and an inspiration to me, as after I graduate uni I plan to live a considerable amount of time as a nomad. My question is, where did you get the funding to travel like this?

    Yup, place hasn't changed since I first visited in the early 70s. Always fun to read--not really into that face-to-face bs any more. Reading is all I need. You want treeps my friend? Come with me, my friend. …heh… Thanks for the memories! :-)

    Great stories! Great camera work!

    Bingo…I lived a couple years in Morocco in the 70s and have visited every decade since…your conclusions are spot-on my own experiences. Bingo. Fun reads on a strange place. By the way--lived in Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE and KSA with visits to Istanbul and Cairo--le Maroc takes the cake.
