Testimonials from
“Opening Doors in Morocco”, “Inside Morocco”, and
“Textile Arts in Morocco”
These are
from people who have traveled with me since 2002.
“Excellent trip, with wonderful staff and varied experiences.
We had great food, great interactions with people on all levels, and the warmth
of the Moroccan people was felt by all.” Kathy H.
“The breadth and variety of experience from very small, personal village visits
to big city markets was priceless.”
“I took a week-long trip to Morocco with Susan Davis and after over 25 years of
travelling extensively, I can still say that it was probably the most rewarding
trip of my life [she’s a travel agent]. Susan’s experience is second to none:
her stint in the Peace Corps, living in Morocco, speaking the language and
writing a book about the role of women in Morocco, added a “living” dimension
to our trip. We were able to stop in the middle of a Berber camp and have a
conversation with the family living there, to eat a meal in a private home, and
interact on a personal level with Moroccans. .. Above all, her enthusiasm is
contagious, and she draws people in to appreciate this fascinating world - to
open the door to which she holds the magic key.”
“Good info
pre-trip, great staff, large bus gave us space to spread out. Loved the smaller
hotels……Traveling felt much, much safer than I expected – meaning merchants
were not in my face. People on the streets just ignored us. I never felt
unsafe, even when by myself.”
“I thought it
was a very well-organized tour, and very good value
for money.”
“I liked the
opportunity to meet with many different types of Moroccan people, to visit
their non-profits, and the wonderful opportunities to photograph.” Ann Steiner,
NYC
“I have been
on 5 small group textile tours and have met innumerable cooperatives.
. . but have never experienced the person-to-person opportunities we did on
this tour. The broad cross section of women of different ages, backgrounds and
interests was due primarily to [Susan’s] work in Morocco. Meeting all of those
women plus traveling the length and breadth of Morocco certainly dispelled
stereotypes and created connections for all of us!”
“It was great
to learn about people’s lives, and their thoughts about their culture.” Joan,
university professor
"The trip was fascinating and far exceeded my expectations... One of the
many highlights for me was being invited into the homes of ordinary (although
in fact, far from ordinary, as it turned out) Moroccans...who opened their
homes and hearts to us." Chrissie T.
