Jib jib faloozy….

In Morocco this is what street kids say as they hold out their hands or if said angrily it's how thugs demand money...I'm taking the tone of the street kids...(and giving away my latest book for free) ;)

Women’s Day and A Night at the Movies in Fez

Yesterday, Hanane read a passage from Fatima Mernessi’s book Dreams of Trespass at an event to celebrate women’s day. It was a nice gathering at Cafe Comedie in the Fes ville nouvelle.

I hadn’t been there before and it was a great place, though one of the big problems you always face in Morocco is that [...]

The ugliest rug in Morocco

A few months ago I started looking at all the garbage piled up in various places and seeing that I had about a thousand plastic grocery bags lying around. YOu get plastic bags with everything in Morocco and then they go to the garbage and then they blow all over the place and then, well, [...]

Bruce Lee in Morocco

As most of you know, I love couchsurfing! So what does couchsurfing have to do with Bruce Lee being in Morocco? Well, it’s simple. My last couchsurfer was a Canadian named Bruce Lee.

Bruce contacted me through couchsurfing.com about a month ago and told me he would be taking a journey through Europe and North Africa. [...]

Vagobond Valentines – Part 2 – Volubulis

Since coming to Morocco a year ago, I’ve wanted to visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubulis. Each time I’ve planned to go, something has kept me from it, until now.

It turns out that Hanane had also never gone there. As a young girl, she was supposed to go there on a school trip, [...]

A Vagobond Valentines – Part 1- Dar Zerhoune in Moulay Idriss

Saturday Morning, Hanane and I woke up and grabbed our overnight bags to set out for a further exploration of Moulay Idriss, Volubulis, and Meknes. Since our previous expedition (http://www.vagobond.com/2010/02/vagobond-in-meknes-and-moulay-idriss/) had been so incredibly enjoyable, I decided to surprise her with a weekend trip so that we could really dig into this incredible region.

After scouring [...]

Morocco Baraja Cards

As many of you know, I read Tarot cards. In fact, I read Tarot and I read an old deck of Hawaii playing cards that I carry around with me. In other words, I’m tuned into cards. I can even do a few card tricks.

I’ll often pick up playing cards I find in the street [...]

Sefrou Idol

Today was a different kind of day. My habibi loves to sing and she found out that there was a competition in Sefrou today which I’ve been calling in my head ‘Sefrou Idol’, for obvious reasons. Hopefully you will forgive my crappy photography as you may remember that I broke the LCD on my camera [...]

Party at the ALC Riad

The American Language Center in Fez has been renovating a riad in the medina for use as a study and cultural center.

My neighbor Jess has been overseeing most of the work and this week hosted a party there on Wednesday night.

As with most parties in Morocco, the absence of alcohol was noticeable since the [...]
