Magic Morocco...

After 45 days of traveling, what was before a certainty became a fact for our three adventurers: the people are good, all of them. There is no debate on the topic, in each heart you will find goodness, materialized in a simple smile or in a welcoming invitation to share a dinner and a night. You just have to make the first step towards someone, “Hello”, “Salaamalikum” or “Bonjour” will open the doors for a great sharing experience. It is as simple as that. Just open your heart, widen your smile and you will see it… this shiny light that lies in each human heart…

From Almeria to Casablanca

Almeria, 4th of February, the Locomotive of freedom is ready to leave Europe behind and head right toward Africa. The sun is shining, bringing happiness to the three adventurers who spend more time talking to the people and charging their batteries than hitchhiking. As a result, when the night comes, they are just 25 kilometers away from Almeria, in El Ejido. This city is called the garden of Europe and it is famous for its greenhouses that spread for kilometers and kilometers around. Nature is strongly exploited, in the greenhouses, fruits and vegetables are produced with pesticides and then sent to the supermarkets of Europe. Everyday, 2500 trucks leave the place. On top of everything, the majority of the workers are immigrants who work illegally in very poor conditions because of the pesticides and other chemical products. We condemn such a system, stating loud how much local food is better on an ecological and human scale.
