Pack your bags, hunnies because Morocco is calling! 🌍✨

Get ready for 13 days of pure magic with The Girls Trip Series as we take on the vibrant souks, endless dunes, and to-die-for sunsets of Morocco. Picture this: you're in a hot air balloon over Marrakech, glamping under the stars of the Sahara Desert, and frolicking in the waves on the Atlantic coastline.

We’re talking riad vibes, rooftop dinners, and moments you’ll want to frame forever. Whether you’re taking a cooking class, savouring your first tagine, experiencing a blissful hammam, or losing yourself in the colours and chaos of it all, this trip is all about connection, adventure, and living your best life...because girl, life is too short for “maybe next year.” Come laugh, explore, and make memories that will leave you saying, “Did that actually happen?”

Spoiler alert: it happens.

Hi, I'm Ally! I've spent the majority of the last 18 years in airports escaping to destinations that fuelled my curiosity to explore incredible pockets of this world. I spent the first 9 years of my career doing sales and operations in the travel industry - specifically planning, selling, and running youth group trips across the Caribbean, Central America, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. When I wasn't planning and running other people's trips, I was escaping for some solo travel of my own. After my first big trip at 18 years old, where I camped across 6 countries in Southern Africa, I knew that I had to have as many experiences around the world as I possibly could for the rest of my life. I set a goal of travelling to 30 countries before I turned 30 and was lucky to pass that by 24! My life hasn't been the same since.
 

Most of you know me as a photographer. I left the professional travel world to pursue my love for being creative. I've worked on TV shows shooting social content for networks, started a podcast for women with over 50k downloads, shot photos for huge airlines and hotels around the world, and tried to get away as much as I could in between.  These girls trips merge all of my worlds to offer you some of the same life-changing experiences that I've had across the globe. My goal is to offer you a space to reconnect with yourself in a slow but stunning environment where you can take the time and space to clear, reset, create new intentions, start to integrate, and PLAY.
 

We don't play enough as adults. We take ourselves way too seriously. These trips will change that.  They're designed to carve out intentional time to play, while really giving you the freedom to tap into (and honour) what feels good to you each day. The rest of the trip is up to you. Let's savour the slow travel, meet new friends, eat good food, cry if we have to, and have an incredible trip that we'll remember for the rest of our lives.
 

I can't wait to meet you,
 

Ally

This journey is designed as an overland-style adventure, meaning we’ll be moving across Morocco by road - taking in the landscapes, culture, and rhythm of the country along the way. While most drivers are manageable, please note that the journey out to the Sahara requires some longer days in the van. All of our driving will have stops for bathrooms, snacks, meals and pictures along the way to make the most of the adventure.

We'll be covering a lot of ground during our 13 days together. Because of that, it's important to note that this trip is more structured than our other destinations. There are a lot more meal and activity inclusions for the Morocco trip (vs other trips that we do) so you can make the most out of the experience. Having said all that, this is still your trip. So if anything feels like a "meh" for you when you wake up, listen to your bod and hang back and rest of take on something else of your liking. Just don't miss the van ;)

Please note that because this is a road trip in a sprinter van, we ask that women pack accordingly and avoid large-hard top suitcases. Small carry-ons, and larger duffels with wheels work best for the back while personal items can be carried with you up front in the van. We'll set up all travellers with a packing list to help with this beforehand <3

What's the travel style for The Girls Trip Series?

It's important to note that the women who choose to travel on this trip should be hyper-independent. Unlike other group travel experiences and retreats, these trips are designed to give you freedom to explore on your own terms. Women who come on this trip should be mellow, be able to go with the flow, and not depend on other people to make/break their experience. To make sure you're a good energetic fit for the trip and that this is the right investment for you, all interested travellers must be approved via our trip application system.

What are the accommodations like?

Accommodations are comfortable mid-level riads and guesthouses that are thoughtfully chosen and locally owned and operated to balance experience and value so we can keep the trip accessible without compromising on comfort while feeling good about the people we're supporting along the way! While this isn’t a "luxury" trip, it’s rich in heart, adventure, and connection ;).

You will be placed with another woman on the trip as your roomie. We match roomies based on your pre-trip questionnaire answers to team you up with someone we think you'd be most compatible with in terms of sleeping styles and personality. If you would like your own room, please add a single occupancy add on at the time of booking.

How Do I Get There?

Fly into Marrakech (RAK). You can then take a taxi or uber to our starting hotel. Please contact me if you would like to add on a private transfer at the beginning/end of your trip. While our arrival day only has a welcome meeting planned for the evening, we hit the road the following day - so it is recommended to arrive a day before the trip starts to avoid any airline and travel delays that would potentially leave you missing the van to the desert.

Are There Fitness Requirements For This Trip?

While the activity level for this trip is low, we ask that travellers with pre-existing medical conditions get clearance from their health professionals to travel.

Do I need travel insurance?
Yes! All participants must have travel insurance to cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and other unforeseen events. If you do not have coverage via your credit card, you can purchase it separately.

This Is Not A Tour

--

A reminder that our trips are not regular tours. Yes, we have inclusions and activities that we do together - but the type of gals who thrive on these experiences are women who enjoy equal amounts of connection and independence. If you require a lot of structure, guidance, hand-holding, and reassurance, this travel style is not suited to you <3

Arrive into Marrakech at leisure. There will be no scheduled activities for this day except our trip welcome & kick-off meeting at 6 PM (local Marrakech time)

Early wake up today as we're hitting the road at 8 am and making our way to the Sahara Desert. Expect a full day in the car today but we will make stops for coffee, bathroom, snacks, meals and pictures. Put your sweats on, pack your neck pillow and let's kick off the journey!

Wake up to your first look at the Sahara Desert! Choose to catch the sunrise from behind the dunes or sleep in and wake up without stress. Breakfast is included for you at the hotel today!

Have some time to rest today, soak in the views, lay by the pool and we'll also sneak in some adventure with ATV and sandboarding today before making our way to our glamping tents for sunset. Choose your way to camp by either 4x4 or camel.

Wake up after a night under the stars in the middle of the Sahara desert. For those with an upgraded package, we'll have a sunrise photoshoot in the dunes! Enjoy a nice slow day today so really soak in your surroundings in this once-in-a-lifetime location.

We'll leave camp today for a 4x4 jeep adventure through the dunes as well as visit a local, nomadic Beber family to learn more about how they live and enjoy a local lunch and mint tea with them!

We'll slowly start making our way towards to Marrakech today by splitting our journey in half. Before ending our day in Dades Valley, we'll get to stop via Rissani and the Todra Gorge. During this part of our journey you'll get to see a different side to Morocco!

We'll get some classic tourist stops in on today's leg of our road trip such as this famous zig zag road and Ouarzazate - the "Hollywood of Morocco" where you'll get to see the UNESCO World Heritage site and famous backdrop for film sets like Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator. We'll end the day driving through the High-Atlas mountains before ending back in Marrakech for the night.

Tired? Same. Take a day to rest and explore on your own terms. This is great day to book in a traditional hammam and check out the incredible sights and sounds of Marrakech. Many opt to check out the souks or visit the famous YSL gardens and museums.

Enjoy a sleep in and slow morning. We'll make our way to Essaouira late morning where you'll fall in love with this beautiful UNESCO artisan town on the Atlantic coastline.

Optional:

• Visit a fish market to grab your catch of the day and have a rooftop restaurant cook you a fresh lunch overlooking the medina.

• Explore the souks.

• Head to the beach.

• Book a beginner surf lesson
  

• Book a beginner wind surfing lesson

This is the part of the trip where you really just get to slow down and enjoy your days exactly how you want to. Have the day to explore on your own terms here. We'll meet for horseback riding for sunset on a beautiful beach tonight.

Another free day to roam on the coast. It's a much more enjoyable experience to shop in the medinas here as it is very laid-back compared to Marrakech. Have the day to yourself before meeting a local chef for dinner where we'll shop for fresh ingredients and cook dinner together with them in their home!

We'll head back to Marrakech late-morning as we start or journey to the end :(

We'll kick off our last day with a hot air balloon ride in Marrakech. Have an afternoon to unwind before our farewell dinner.

We have no activities planned today. Depart at leisure.
