GREETINGS FROM … are short field notes. Friends of OLLI send us their impressions from their travels.
Southern Morocco. The endless expanses, the silence of nature, and the warmth of the people deeply moved Gaby and Claudio. Off the beaten path, they’re experiencing a journey full of freedom, simplicity, and the Moroccan philosophy of life: “No problems—only solutions.”
Bonjour! Labas? How are you?
The infinite, colorful diversity and the endless expanses of Morocco are simply breathtaking! Southern Morocco has taken our hearts by storm. Following in the tracks of the Pistenkuh, we felt our deep love and connection to Mother Nature—“Pachamama.” Every kilometer reveals a new natural landscape, and you can never get enough of it.
The glorious silence, the sense of oneness with nature, and the friendly and incredibly helpful people of this spectacular country are so impressive that one thing is absolutely clear to us: Morocco, we’ll be back! Traveling off-road in a truck is an experience that is simply overwhelming, and one we can wholeheartedly recommend to every overlander.
💡 Did you know what Moroccans think of Europeans? A European thinks objectively and based on facts—but rarely with the heart. The typical gesture and posture during a conversation with a local is a flat hand on the heart. It’s almost as if they’re gently reminding us Europeans: “Speak from your heart.” A Moroccan literally beams and glows during a conversation!
For us, the most beautiful souvenir from this country is the Moroccans’ attitude: “No problems—only solutions.” And with this insight, life becomes so much easier.
Warm regards from
Gaby & Claudio
