PHILOSOPHY

Clara and I have never gone on a "tour" in our lives. We have traveled together to Morocco, Turkey, Syria, and throughout Europe the last few years and prefer traveling with a loose plan that can change any second. Spontaneity is the rhythm of our travels.

Of course that attitude doesn't work with a group. But we do respect your desire to have time to explore on your own. This is not the kind of trip where we herd you like sheep. But we will be opportunistic and as such, need to roll with the punches. Many tours are so controlled the element of surprise is extinguished. We keep that flame alive.

We soak up the aroma of Morocco through full cultural immersion. We experience authentic Berber village life in towns like Tafroute nestled high in the Anti Atlas Mountains, and relationships with locals provide access to natural life happenings such as Gnawa ceremonies in Essaouira. There is planned free time so Tangential travelers can reap the rewards of individual exploration. You will experience the genuine warmth and hospitality of the Moroccan people including Berber, Arabic, Touareg and nomad.

Leading a group of Tangents listeners to an exotic destination is a natural extension of both my radio show and Tangents parties where diverse cultures are brought into peoples' lives through music. The vibe at these parties is remarkable. This kindred spirit has carried over to our group trips abroad.  We have produced two Morocco tours and five Turkey tours. Turkey is at the crossroads of East and West. Morocco is at the crossroads of Islam and Black Africa. It is a fascinating culture where music is in the air, the mountains are stunning and the desert is pure. Bring on Morocco!
