Last night after a failed attempt at wild camping, we woke up in front of a small town’s police station and got a early-ish start on our day. Our next stop would be Tafraoute, Morocco. We talked to a Dutch couple here who told us about their trip here 30 Read more…
We filmed a “year in review” for our travels in 2020. Yes, I know 2020 is not over but I don’t foresee us traveling too far for the rest of the year. This year took us to Croatia > Italy > France > Monaco > Spain > Gibraltar > Morocco Read more…
A year ago, we started the Freely Roaming project where we share tips and tricks of this life on the road. We decided it would be great to share those tips in a podcast as well. So as of today, we are officially rebranding our ‘Mali Mish Podcast‘ to ‘The Read more…
Sometimes living on the road looks this: Sleepy giggling kids still on their beds as Dan drives down a bumpy dirt road while I throw all the crap from on top of the counter and fridge haphazardly onto our bed. And why is this craziness happening? Because we parked at Read more…
The drive out of Dades Gorge was beautiful. I thought we saw all the breathtaking spots already in this area but nope. There was plenty more. The rock formations reminded us of our home state of California and that always feels good. Crazy colors in the mountains. The white storks Read more…
After two long days of driving along Route 704, the single lane dirt road that connects Todra Gorge to Dades Gorge, we finally found pavement again. There is a road that connects the gorges via a regular road but we chose to take the scenic and memorable road. Once we Read more…

As we are passport and residency holders of Croatia, ‘going home’ for us actually means getting back into Europe and beelining straight for Split and begin a new 14-day quarantine in Marlene’s family’s apartment. – For a Read more…
After four nights at Haven La Chance campground, we packed up and are planning on heading into Todra Gorge. But before we start the drive through the gorge and to our next boondocking destination, we need to replenish our food supply. We ended up visiting a souk (outdoor market). A Read more…
We set our alarms for 6:30 am to give us enough time to climb the sand dunes for sunrise. When we fumbled out of the van, we couldn’t see anything in front of us. Almost out of nowhere, a line of camels appeared right in front us and honestly scared Read more…
One of the things we knew we wanted to do in Morocco was to ride camels through the Saharan Desert. We opted to do the 2 hour sunrise ride instead of the overnight adventure. Price-wise the overnight adventure is a better deal. It includes overnight accommodations in a Berber tent, Read more…
After a few nights of wild camping at a lake, we headed towards the Saharan Desert. But first lunch. The fake dinosaur and baby camels hooked us in. We all shared a delicious chicken tajin meal, a huge pile of bread and freshly squeezed orange juice. Rugs as bench covers Read more…
