I enjoy traveling alone. One of the biggest reasons is that I like meeting people – especially the type of people that find themselves wandering around solo like me. When you are on your own, you tend not just to meet folks, but end up traveling together and having an opportunity to get to know each other.
The group pictured above is a perfect example of the fun folks one tends to run into traveling alone. From left to right:
Aaron and I met in Chefchaouen, a beautiful little town in the Rif Mountains. I proposed a hike up in the mountains, and he was the only person daft enough to want to spend a day climbing a mountain when then temperature was well over 35C. We got along well and decided to stick together as we travelled south through Fes and down to Marrakesh.
AnneLise was staying at the hostel where I found myself on my first night in Morocco. She was working at a local charity for a month, and so we swapped contact info to meet up when I came back to Marrakesh in a week.
Aziz was had an extra room in his apartment, which AnneLise had rented out for a month shortly after I met her. As the local guy, he knew where to rent motorbikes, and was able to point us in the right direction for a fun day out from Marrakesh.
