At the Feet of Atlas: Two Weeks in Morocco

The Western Kingdom is a multifarious land with an array of colors underneath its desert cloak, as I discovered on a two-week journey through the Maghreb country in 2011.

I am a spare-time travel writer, singer, and songwriter based out of Zurich, Switzerland. Originally from sunny California, I packed my bags after high school and moved to Norway to be an exchange student, a decision that would change the course of my life.

Borne out of a passion for good travel literature and landscape photography, this is my humble little endeavor to capture, remember, and share the beautiful things I’ve come across on my journeys. It’s also where you can find some of my music! Happy perusing, happy listening. —Greg
