Agata’s journey to M’hamid El Ghizlane
Roots of the desert Odyssey
Originally from Warsaw, Poland, Agata’s journey has taken her across the continents. With a passion for exploration, she has traversed diverse landscapes, spent significant time in landscapes of North Scotland, where rugged beauty meets rich history. She then immersed herself in the vibrant tapestry of India, experiencing its cultural diversity firsthand. Both during her travels and returns to Warsaw in between journeys, she gathered experience in managing hostels and front desks in smaller and bigger companies.
Desert becoming home
Currently, Agata calls Morocco her home. In January 2015, as she arrived in Maghreb, her life took an extraordinary turn. Intrigued by the unknown, she and her friend, seated in a Marrakech café, unfolded a map and discovered M’hamid El Ghizlane in Southern Morocco – an alluring oasis town where the road ends and the vastness of the Sahara begins. This was when these curious travellers have made an instant decision to venture into the heart of the desert.
After navigating through the chilling heights of the High Atlas mountains, Agata found herself in the warm embrace of the Sahara. Sitting under the African sun with fruit cocktail in hand, she felt home.
