    Yess omg I loved Essaouira and I stayed at the Essaouira beach hostel too and loved it! The owner was over from the US when I went and he was so lovely and told me all about the hostel and the guy who he had in charge of the hostel when he wasn't there was so lovely and welcoming and invited me to join in with their meal at 3am for Ramadan which was actually so nice! If I go back to Morocco, I'll definitely be going back to this hostel!

      @@BackpackingBananas yes we don t get tourists from uk or usa ..here in agadir most tourists are germain and french people..most moroccan people speak english so you won t have a problem with the communication and beleive me the prices in morocco are very fair and sheap for europeans and i didn't see people charging you other than what i pay as a moroccan...as you witnessed everything is on the internet ven the food prices because we have the option of delevery also...welcome back anytime . I don t think that you know that in morocco we have music festivals and we invite singers from usa and uk, mawazin is the biggest festival...in morocco we have some moroccans zho organise private wild parties with the Dj outside the urban areas...morocco is so peacefull and i always recommand you to mix up with moroccan people and be open to them, they can make your exeprience even better...i guarantie you every visite to morocco you will discover something new and different

    I love your travel videos, they inspired me going solo backpacking journeys a few years back and I am still hooked to your videos and the palces you show us.
    Went to Marocco last summer - and also stayed at the Assaouria Beach hostel - one of the greatest hotels I was at in a long time!
    Already hooked for your video on the Iron Ore Train, that is also high up on my bucket list:)
    Btw: Couscous is a special dish in Marocco, usually reserved for fridays - that's why the more traditional restaurants will only serve it on that weekday;)

    Went to Marrakech for the first time in December and really enjoyed it there. Was amazed how cheap you could go to the atlas mountains for and did a few treks, although i never need to know how they make argan oil again (think i saw 4 demonstrations in total). Food was either amazing (usually lamb shoulder) or average (usually chicken tagine). However the YSL gardens were brilliant. Disappointed that you didnt go in 😞

    I started following you about a year or so ago I think, but I've only just started getting back into watching all your latest videos (I tend to do this with most channels I follow for some reason 😅). But I especially liked the South Korea videos. 😊 Morocco looks interesting too! I really like how you narrated this video with a voice-over as well.

    Every single person when I went were incredible and I traveled to rabat, Chefchaouen, Fez, rural areas with host families, and Marrakech. I was never once scammed, and I was just a little 18 year old girl wondering around with other 18 yo girls. People also say you shouldn't go without a guy... I didn't experience anything other than the occasional catcall and that was only in Marrakech. Disclaimer: Do not go if you don't have self-control. I almost bought everything there was to offer when I was there! Also.. I miss the mint tea every day. And the food was to die for
