Ahu

In the winter of 2013, I set out to experience Morocco and stayed for over a year. I quickly fell in love with the country—its captivating architecture and the warmth of its people. Instead of living in the bustling cities, I chose the quiet rural areas, where I felt like I had stepped back in time. Unexpectedly, I found myself learning so much about femininity and self-love. The Amazigh (Berber) women, with their incredible strength, resilience, and acceptance of their complex identities, touched my soul. They embody a beautiful blend of fierceness, gentleness, and open-heartedness. The spirit of the land, the air, the people—they all called to me, and now I live along the Atlantic coast in Essaouira, where I focus on painting, poetry, and sharing my love of Morocco.
​
I find joy in organizing journeys and guiding others through this vibrant land filled with color, Berber music, intuition, and self-discovery. Above all, I treasure the sands of the Sahara, where I climb the highest dunes and encounter a magic unlike any other.
