My most exotic and exciting trip (so far!) as a solo woman traveler has been to Morocco. I spent the month of February, 2019 exploring most of the areas of the country.
My time in Morocco was a fabulous experience. I took thousands of photos, and was so immersed, that I’m dividing my info about Morocco into sections. This is only a tiny overview; there will be many more details on each location in a series of upcoming articles.
If you enjoy travel photos of an exotic place, read on…
Why Morocco? When I left the US in November of 2018, my main object was to be in Germany with my daughter and her family whilst she was expecting her second child in January, 2019. Given that Germany is part of the Schengen Area, and that I had travel planned in northern Europe through April, I needed to leave the Area regularly. Being in a warm place was important to me, so I looked to Africa.

You always have such amazing solo travel experiences to share. Morocco looks absolutely amazing. I love Moroccan food, so it’s definitely on my list of foodie destinations!
How amazing to spend a month discovering a new place. You really get to experience the culture.
Morocco is always been on my bucket list. I can’t wait to go, you’ve inspired me to get going on these plans.
Morocco looks like an amazing place to visit! Your Solo travels are amazing!
Morocco looks like it has a variety of things to experience. The Roman Ruins and Ouarzazate look like interesting places to explore.
I would love to visit Morocco. I can see how and why this exotic and exciting solo travel trip led to self-discovery.
I love reading about your travel to foreign lands! I would love to spend a month in Morocco!
Morroco is definitely on my bucket list! Hubby and I are hoping to take the kids there in a few years. I already know I will love the food (my fave resto in Toronto is Morroccan!).
I look forward to reading more about your travels in Morocco. I will definitely be back to check out the various posts. I went to Tangier years ago on a high school trip to Spain. We only got to spend a day and night there and I know there is so much more to explore. Thanks for sharing!
What a great list! All these sights look breathtaking! If you could only pick one, which would you choose?
Tough question! In summertime, I’d hang out in Essaouaria or Agadir, both beach towns. Otherwise, Chefchaouen has my heart!
Great post! I’ve never been in Morocco. I wish to see it one day. Thank you for inspiration.
Here’s an odd titdbit which has stuck with me. When I was in 6th grade in AnnArbor, we had a unit on Africa. There was a film which showed goats up in trees! I was astounded by this.
I’d heard of this – seeing it was rather amazing! And, then I visited an argan oil collective to learn how the oil was processed from the digested nuts, and was fascinated. I still have a little bit of argan oil from my trip.
Morocco is on my top ten list. I love the food and the views! What a cool and interesting culture to visit.
It looks like a very exotic country to visit. I look forward to your articles.
What an amazing destination! I love Moroccan food! I would love to visit!
I would love to go to Morocco! It looks like a beautiful place. That and South Africa are my top two places in Africa that I would love to visit.
I look forward to reading all about the different regions that you went to. Sounds like an amazing itinerary.
Absolutely stunning! Morocco is high on my list!

I published a post last night, about Casablanca…probably the least picturesque one of all the posts planned about Morocco.
Morocco looks like a spectacular place to visit!
Oh, it is, Tonya! Highly recommended.
I absolutely love Morocco, but we only made it to Marrakesh. I most definitely want to return and see more someday. The food was SO good!
I really enjoyed Marrakech; especially around the Jamaa El Fna – so interesting and full of life. I was not a great fan of tajine…did you like it?
Gorgeous pictures…thank you so much for sharing! These make me want to go to Morocco!
Good! Go!!
Looks like an absolutely beautiful and amazing place to visit! Can’t wait to read about your adventure.
Stay tuned! I published a post yesterday about Casablanca.
How interesting! Very exotic!
In 2006 my husband had a business trip to Malaga, Spain, and we took a day trip to Morocco. It was such an interesting place to visit, and I know we only visited a touristy area, but I’d love to go back some day and explore more.
Probably Tangier! The whole country is so exotic.
My sister was stationed in Morocco many years ago, I wish I had the chance to visit her then; it looks so lovely.
Wow, Morocco looks pretty amazing! So many cool places to experience!
Oh this gives me the travel bug!!!! Morocco is def on my list
Good! It is unmatchable. I want to go back!
OMG what a dream trip – so much culture! Absolutely stunning photos.

Thank you for your kind words! It was my Morocco pics on FB and the response that convinced my to start a travel blog. Now I’ve gotta get busy posting all the rest!
I love these pics! I nearly scheduled a trip to Morocco last year but didn’t…sigh…wish I had looking at these.
Hopefully, your Morocco trip will come to pass!
Your photos are amazing! I was there a few years ago (solo) and had plans to spend a few weeks there with my kids this spring, but unfortunately our plans have been postponed. Gives me more time to read your blogs and add to our plans now!
What an adventure. Casablanca just feels like a dream – not an actual place to visit!
Wow, so beautiful. Looks like a life-changing trip!
Great photos! I’ll have to come back and read your stories when you get them posted!
Morocco is on my bucket list for sure! Great pics!!
Gorgeous pictures! Looks like an amazing time!
I love the photos. Thank you.
I have always wondered about Morocco. Your pictures are beautiful too. Thank you for the sharing the experience… Morocco may have to go on my bucket list now.
Your photo of the man and camel during the sunset is incredible! And yes, I definitely want to read more about goats in trees!
