Message from the Founder
Hi, I’m Lindsey - the heart behind Move Morocco. What started as my personal love for Morocco’s culture, landscapes, and people has grown into a mission: helping travelers experience this country in a way that feels real, meaningful, and unforgettable.
I believe travel should be more than checking sights off a list—it should connect you to place, to people, and to yourself. Every itinerary I create is personal. I design each journey with intention, weaving together local culture, authentic experiences, and smooth travel so you can simply arrive and enjoy.
Whether you’re planning a private trip, exploring with your family, or joining one of our women’s retreats, my goal is the same: to help you feel welcomed, cared for, and deeply connected to Morocco. This land has a way of changing people—and I can’t wait for you to feel its magic.
