Thanks for the tipd
I remember when you did your peace corps story back in UCF. I am glad I rediscovered this channel. Sadly, I never did anything with ESL but I wish I did.
Agadir to Marrakesh seems very cheap... looked at getting a CTM BUS for $8
Yassss 😍🙏
Hello ! I was just placed to Grenoble for TAPIF, I’ve never visited France before and I would really love some information about visiting there. Is it possible for me to speak to you about it ? Thank you for your video as well !
By email
omg i LOVE you!! i really needed this video
Happy to be of service 🫡
Fun video! Let’s meet up for lunch next time you are in my neck of the woods!
I would love that! My boyfriend fell in love with AZ, so I’m sure we’ll be back🩷
❤❤❤
Hey were looking to get to Terres Amanar from Marrakesh, do you think its worthwhile just organising private transport or do you think ordering a taxi on the day will be fine?
Hello, I would suggest organizing private transport if you have and question about it because at least you can decide on a price. In Marrakech they will not try to settle with you and overcharge you if you’re not careful.
Happy birdday. Nice Canion's hike . Joy it. Keep going.. I see in you an perfect youtuber... Especialy you speak good. I know that you deserve more than 100 thaousand followers even you didn't post much videos since Morocco peace corp adventure
Thank you that’s so nice of you! I haven’t been on as many adventures lately but I should definitely post more !
mckaylaaaaaa u are D best 💓💓💓
Thank you!! Miss you guys in Morocco!
@@MckaylaRaines same here see you soon
thank you for the info its was very helpful...! be safe...! peace & blessings...!
Thank you 🩷
What a jewell of a town. And it's not that famous. France....
Such a beautiful city 🩷
Hi! Can you please spell the name of the hike that starts in the center? Thank you!
I never got to experience this place as a kid in school for some reason but i have finally decided that i want to take my grandkids there because they love science and experiments as much as i do. So in the next couple weeks we plan to experience it which is how i found your video. Thank you for the honest review. Good day
Have so much fun! They will love it!
Are there no taxi apps in Morocco?
There weren’t when I lived there. Morocco is pretty traditional still ☺️
@@MckaylaRaines Okay. Thank you for your response.
Hi Mckayla, how safe is the marrakech medina at evening/night , especially as a woman?
The Medina at night I would say is pretty safe as long as it’s still full of people just be careful in the tiny alleyways surrounding the Medina and be prepared for some harassment. I can say I’ve never experienced anything physical in Morocco 🤞🏽
I'm not gonna say names because I don't know if could be sued🤣🤣🤣🤣 Greetings from Sam
I really don’t wanna be sued 😂 سلام خويا
My girl! Get at me…it’s been too long! Proud of ya!
🚕 A small taxi have a counter for price depending on the distance. They will usually always use it or you can ask them to use it to make sure, and just pay the price mentioned in it. If you want an empty taxi, tell him to not stop for anyone. 🚖 A grand taxi is only private if you tell him youwant to pay for the other 5 places otherwise no. They also don't use a counter like small taxi but a prefixed price by person. 🚌 Busses are more budget friendly but they can get so full which make them sometimes uncomfortable. 🚊 Trams are the best options but not every city have one. Have a good trip 👍🏻
youre adorable 🖤
Thank you 🥹
This was really helpful, thank you!!
You're so welcome!
@@MckaylaRaines quick question, if i were to take a grand taxi from central Marrakech to Amizmiz, how much do you say it would normally cost?
I, honestly, have no idea. I had to look it up on a map and still I have no clue @@falsealarm348 😕
And le gratin dauphinois repas de la région
Comment ai-je oublié? 😅
I wish you attached cost to d activity
Thanks for the feedback I will have to do that in future videos !
How was your internet situation here? Did you bring a laptop?
I did bring a lap top but WiFi is rare and spotty but my second host family had WiFi that was really good but my brother was a gamer 😬
Hey i heard that french people are rude? And can i survive on just English?
You will survive but it will be a struggle. French people aren’t rude just very proud !
@@MckaylaRaines well i am already in france now😂 yup its a struggle
I’m thinking of moving to Anncey area from the US. What are some good towns or neighborhoods where I wouldn’t need a car, but would still have easy access to Anncey. How is public trans. Thanks so much.
I recommend to look at the bus route. Any of the neighborhoods should be easily accessible.
Combian woman???
Number one thing to do in France: Go somewhere else, why tf are you in France? Haven't heard of Portugal or Estonia? Their capitals don't smell like pee.
Hey! Why is peace Corp needed in morroco ?
The only sector of the Peace Corps present in Morocco is the Youth Development sector. My tasks ranged from teaching English to clubs and camp activities!
i really want to do camel back riding! do u know where we should??
Unfortunately I don’t but check merzouga and Ourrzazate on the edge of the Sahara !
This is a great guide, really comprehensive! Thanks for uploading
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed !
I'll be traveling on the 28th of May for a 40th bday. Staying at Belive(hotel) in marrakech. I'm excited! I do have to get a driver to take me to the hotel,because unfortunately I couldn't get a decent flight into marrakech so I'm flying in casablanca and getting a driver to take me from there.
Happy birthday! Enjoy!!
Hey, I know that this is an older video. But, what camera did you use while you were in Morocco?
I honestly don’t remember ! But to be honest my phone camera was much better anyways that’s what I use now!
42 dollars?!?!? Why is accommodation so cheap? 😅
Morocco is just extremely affordable! We love it!
Can you do it if your parents are from morocco
You just have to be an American citizen!
which month?
this video was shot in April
I'll be leaving for Marrakech on 4/19/23. I will have a hammam, a city walking tour, a day at Agafay desert, shopping and a night at The Buddha Bar. Can't wait!
I’m so jealous ! Also right at the end of Ramadan is a great time to explore! Enjoy!
any advice on cash exchange at casablanca airport
There will be someone at the airport I’m sure ! You’ll need it for a taxi right out of the airport . But I’ve found the best way during the rest of the trip is to withdraw from a trusted bank!
is train best way from Casablanca airport to city center? Im goin in septemeber and staying in Stay Center apts about mile outside city center in Maarif
Unfortunately I’ve never been to Casa so I’m not even sure if there is a train stop from the airport to city center but I honestly think a taxi might be a cheaper option!
hey Pretty , I want to get from Caablanca to Safi with two big suitcases. Any suggestions?
Oof that’s not gonna be fun. If you can, probably rent a car, if not, I would say train, taxis don’t do well with big luggage😭 I never mentioned that in the video !
Where is the exact location with the high view?
I honestly don’t even remember 😭
Good video and very informative! I’m from Columbus and have been to this part of Dublin a few times, but never knew what was on the other side of the bridge (I’ve only been to the side that Pins is on). I’ll have to check that out soon! If you go to Vaso in the winter, be sure to reserve one of the igloos on the rooftop patio. Very cozy and a beautiful view!
Yes definitely check it out, it’s easily become one of my favorite places to walk !
Hello I'm going to Marrakech soon and I want to know how to pay for the buses there. Do you pay by cash on the bus, or do you need to have a card with cash topped up on it (like an Oyster card in London)? If so, where can you get these cards from?
You’ll pay with cash when you get on the bus. I would always carry cash on you in Morocco because it’s a cash society much unlike Europe and the US.
Im playing golf there this summer. This helped me sooooo much with transportation logistics! Thank you!!!!!!
You’re so welcome ! Enjoy!!
Hi, can you spill the train company/website that offers prices you mention in the videos?
Oncf
Oncf-voyages.ma
Do you recommend it for female solo travel?
Yes and no. I would recommend it for experienced solo travelers, but not beginners. It can be very overwhelming as shop owners can try to bring you in and people all over the city try to sell you things! I wouldn’t have done it by myself the first time around but now that I know Morocco really well I could go by myself anytime!
Thank you so much for these tips. Once I found out there is no Uber I was like 😱This will help out a lot.
Hahaha yeah Uber is not a thing 🥲 but it’s still easy to get around just a little time consuming !
Ha. Uber is not global thing. :D
Hi, in case someone asked the same thing, we have similar Apps like InDrive. Have a good trip
@@MckaylaRaines There is actually an app equivalent to Uber in Morocco called In Drive, very practical for ordering a driver
I've never heard of this before! Good to know! @@Linda_morja
Hi, I'm lucky to find you in TH-cam. I want to choose my next destination. Indecisive between Austria and morocco. You have been in Morocco for months and also student at the university in Austria! I have been in several country in Europe as visitor also in South Africa and Kenya. Can you help me to decide? Which one is your choice? Thanks in advance.
It depends on you but I would choose Morocco!!! I think it has such a rich and different culture if you’ve already been to Europe !!
@@MckaylaRaines thanks for answer. Yessss I choosed 🇲🇦 If you don't mind I have another question!!!! I want to see a white city. Can you help me to choose one, between Asilah, Tetouan and Tangier? As my time is short and I don't like to be in hurry everyday for going to this or that city. So if I can choose the best, that would be more enjoyable 😉
@@saramagharei Asilah is really amazing city and if you have more time you can try to visit the blue city Chefchaouen
Hey Mckayla! Not related to the video but do you plan to make more vlogs?? EDIT (Accidentally spelled your name wrong/ corrected)
I do!! Hopefully later in the year! I’ve just been stationary in Ohio, and there’s nothing fun to vlog haha
I've been watching some of your previously at random because I will be going to the Philippines via Peace Corps. I have yet to see your most recent videos but I hope you are at a better place in your life now. Your videos helped me not feel alone in one of my biggest decisions in my life.
I still mourn my unfinished service 3 years later, but I am very excited for your Peace Corps journey! It will be filled with ups and downs but ultimately the experiences that you will have will stick with you forever! Good luck!
