    Morocco

    January 1, 2015 in Morocco ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C

    I have a tradition that I follow already for 14 years - to celebrate New Year's Eve in a different country (preferably warm😀)
    So, my 2015 year began in a depth of Sahara desert.
    It was a road trip along the whole Morocco and though I've been there before, for the second time I was even more impressed by this country.
    My special love is Essaouira - city with a unique charm and aura.
    Amazing Legzira with crazy energy of the ocean and it's orange arcs.
    Absolutely fairy tale Chefchauen - city with 50 shades of blue high in the mountains.
    Morocco is underestimated by many travelers who stay mostly in Agadir and can't feel the real sole of this country.
    As for new year's night it was one of the best in my life: after 3 hours ride on a camel along absolutely Dali landscapes we arrived to our camp, where the festive food and fire were already waiting for us.
    Dancing along the fire all night (its damn cold at night at the desert! ⛄️) with Berbers who were singing Alah Akbar 🙈, looking at the huge stars above me I was absolutely happy and sure that it would be a very special year.
    At 5 am we climbed to the highest dune (real challenge after cognac, followed by cold wind and your legs stucking deep in the sand) and met the sunrise there.
    Thus my 1st day of 2015 began.
    Travels are the most precious things in my life.
    It gives so much unforgettable moments and emotions that are always with me.
