Morocco Packing List

I am leaving for Morocco soon (suddenly it’s so close!) and I thought I would make a little list
of all the things I will be bringing with me. Maybe this will also help me not to forget half my stuff, like I did last time I went on vacation! 

But here it goes!

Morocco is hot and sunny at this time of year, and since I don’t handle the sun very well I will be packing lots of sun protection gear. Furthermore modest clothing is advisable, since Morocco is a Muslim country.

In my carry-on luggage that I bring on the airplane and that I will have with me most days I will bring:

  • My glasses
  • My contact lenses
  • A lip balm
  • A bottle of water
  • Snacks
  • A guide book
  • Notebook and pen
  • Camera
  • Ipod and headphones
  • All my travel documents, so: passport, flight tickets, hotel reservation, travel insurance and ID
  • My wallet with money and credit card
  • My cellphone
  • Sunglasses
  • Book for reading
  • Small stock of toilet paper or tissues that can be used as toilet paper
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Watch


In my big checked baggage, which in this case is a 70 liter backpack, I will bring:

  • Sunblock (SPF 50!)
  • My skincare routine
  • Nail clippers
  • A sun hat
  • Long lightweight pants
  • Long skirt
  • T-shirts (mostly short sleeved ones, but also a few long sleeved ones for bad weather days and cool nights)
  • A kimonostyle cardigan
  • A scarf (for cool nights and extra cover up)
  • A light jacket/jumper
  • Socks
  • Underwear
  • Flip-flops
  • Deodorant
  • Hairbrush
  • Toothbrush and toothpaste
  • Bobby pins and hair ties
  • A sleeping bag liner (can be good to have in lower quality accommodations) 
  • Shower gel and shampoo
  • A small towel (always nice to have an extra and this can be used as a special towel for when you cleanse your face)
  • A bathing suit
  • Chargers and adaptors for camera, iPod etc. 
  • Pajamas
  • A light fleece jumper
  • After sun or moisturizing lotion in general
  • Any pharmaceuticals you might need, like band-aids, pain killers or prescription drugs.
  • Extra copies of my travel documents
Hopefully that will be verything I need. Otherwise it should be possible to buy most stuff there :)

1000 Places to See Before You Die 20 - Acropolis, Athens, Greece

Image
You cannot go to Athens and not go to the Acropolis. It is a staple on any sightseeing tour and is likely to be crawling with tourists at any given point in time. Still, it is definitely worth it to brave the masses and see the fortified citadel above the city of Athens for yourself.   The word acropolis means the highest point of the city, and there are a number of these acropoleis scattered throughout Greece, but the one in Athens is so well known that it is simply called “The Acropolis”.  There is evidence that the area on the rocky outcropping overlooking the city was inhabited already in the 4th millennium BC, but it was Pericles who started construction on the many famous buildings in the 5th century BC. These famous buildings include the Parthenon, probably the most iconic of the buildings, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. These buildings were all seriously damaged in 1687 AD when the Venetians had sieged the city and used th

Reading the classics: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

The book The book first appeared in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine in 1890, and the year after it was released as a book in a revised edition. As I am working on this post, I discover that the book is not necessarily considered a classic….great choice for the kick-off post for the series then! However, in my experience, it does usually appear on “classics” lists, so I am going to count it! At the time of the first publication in 1890 it was considered immoral, by a lot of people, but Wilde took offense to that and defended his story. When it was published in book form though, he had changed some things and added a preface, that stated that books cannot be moral or immoral, only well written or badly written.  The author Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was Wilde’s full name, but he later changed it to Oscar Wilde because, as he said, the name was too long for someone who was going to be famous. He was born on October 16th 1854 in Dublin, Ireland. He went to Trinity Co

Review: Across the Universe by Beth Revis

Image
This is the first book in a series, but I have no intention of continuing on with this series. The plot evolves around two young people, Amy and Elder. They live on a spaceship that has left Earth to find a new planet to populate. Amy was part of the cryogeniccaly frozen people on board, meant to be woken up upon arrival and using their skill set to populate the new planet. Elder, meanwhile, is part of the population that has been keeping the ship running whilst it travels towards its destination.  One day Amy is woken up from her frozen sleep and now she must learn to live on this spaceship, without her parents, slowly learning the culture and the secrets of this ship. It turns out there is an abundance of mysteries on board this ship, like who is waking up (and killing) the frozen people, who is the mysterious deceased Elder, what is the current Eldest up to and what’s with the “crazy” people and their medication.  Eventually all these mysteries are solved, but is
