🛫 Eindhoven – Marrakech 🛬

27 March 2025 ·

The day started very early for me today with a taxi pick-up at 04:30 in the morning. I’m going to Marrakech today with three of my oldest friends. We are staying in the Marrakech area until Monday morning and we will do lots of cool stuff between now and then.

This is my first time traveling to Morocco, and I look forward to the cultural experience, the fantastic nature, and the warm weather compared to the current weather at home.
