The ostensible reason to which I professionally enjoy my work as a Tour Guide is the simple fact to meet new foreigners! It’s not always the same practicalities even in one circuit, but the method to diversify the essential dos according to the group's own needs and interests. because of the lack of time we were running out of, I have suggested to situationally focus on a shorter circuit but which contains important things not to presently miss while visting Meknes. Shortly, the highlight was consisted of the Southern part of the Imperial City and exploring the old fascinating medina with its different contrasts. During my guiding tour with this Polish group of cyclists, I have elicited many travelling notions on which most of the members believe in. time is very important in spite of the fact it has other explanations when it comes to travelling philosophy. A staff member said "time is not that important for me to the full extent I would like to discover more without being chased by the tick of time". Paulina, who was the group leader, has some very professional travelling methods to provide pivotal necessities available to every member. The thing which attracts my full attention was when Paulina said that she is interested in the Amazigh (Berber) culture in Morocco. I promised to take her to the village where I had my field work applied to my research paper of Anthropology this coming December. I am feeling humbly proud to meet this Polish group who belong to one of the biggest cycling organization of travels in Poland in particular and in Europe in general. Special thanks to Paulina (the group leader) and to Mr. Piotr Kobus the Euro Eagle head Manager who valued my own professional credentials in terms of guidance. I am looking forwards to kindly receiving groups from your Organization for the next excursions in Morocco.

I have guided this tremendous multinational group around Meknes city. The essential component I based on, as a should- practicality, was the religious issue which traditionally form the most venerated Islamic patterns in the Mausoleum of the Moulay Ismail in Meknes. I’ve had the most honorable opportunity to meet some interesting people from this group. We shortly talked about some important subjects concerning the diversity which can be observed in Morocco, and how things differ from one group to another even in one culture. I have focused to describe that in Morocco it’s very possible to do anything you want without overpassing the limits of other’s! I would like to thank Julien, the International Tour Operator, for giving me this honorable opportunity to work with him.

camping into the wild is a good outdoor activity, but a little bit tough! certain findings suggest that camping is not all the times a leisure activity practiced whenever you think to get away from the hustle and bustle of your surroundings. the notion of camping, however, is a philosophy in which you can feel the change, practice the change and to experience the change! walking for long distances for instance, carrying a backpack that may bow your back, packing a travelling gear for a strong zeal, taking no showers for many long hours, crossing 12 Kms of cliffs and gorges to find a piece of bread, staying attentive at night with a camp-fire to soothe the fear, listenning to Roger Miller's cowboys travelling songs, sleeping inside tents instead of wollen pads, away from the humdrum of the ordinary life, several chances to meet up with solo travellers and exchange topics for a while, and to live a life into the wild ... why on earth would I do that? I could stay at home, living an easy life with so many facilities and work and earn more money. presently, it's difficult for us to believe there are people living their lives somwhere the way a camper lives for only a short of time and run back home as Forest Gump! maybe this is what makes travelers choose the roughest way to experiece something that is completely different. during my travelling experiences, and in practical way "camping" I have always acquired what cannot be found in books or even around the ordinary life. this kind of attitude teaches mainly how to handle life beyond wilderness! I would like to thank my friend Jahed for his friendly assistance to come with me. we were starting the fire to make breakfast, when this friendly French couple joined us after they had provided some help that we were in such great need of. together, we enjoyed the beauty of nature with the yummy breakfast meal. I wished time had remained longer ... everything was just "outstandingly gorgeous". I am looking forwards to meeting this couple in Meknes soon.

Travelling is not all the times a hobby that can be practiced once you're feeling excited to try something new. sometimes this is the way travelling is described. by getting inextricable touch to the massive experiences gathered through your travels, I am sure you'll have another point of view intertwined into something called philosophy. my job as a tour guide takes me to so many places, but more importantly, it provides myriad of opportuities to know more about the world around. as I already mentioned in some pages back, "it's not about showing the necessary information, but sometimes to learn new things from tourists I have a period of time with!" I gave this nice group a short pause to discover the local culture themselves, while I was discussing with an English smart lady stuff about how my work goes on and how presently it situationally is linked to the science of anthropology to some extent. she was much attracted to the domain of anthropology and to particularly take Morocco as a field work. as for the Agency which organizes wonderful trips all around Morocco, I kindly would like to thank, AGAIN, Ame d'Aventure and my special respect to the charismatic travel agent Mr. Youssef who likes my working attitude.
