What is your involvement with guests throughout their stay ? We pick up our guests at the airport and escort them throughout their journey . We leave them for some meals unless they ask us to join them . We are there every step of the way and leave them to venture out as long as desired . While we do personally produce and lead most the tours , if we are double booked , we ’ ll put the guests with one of our guides , depending on personality . We are great at matching guides to clients .
What are guests most intrigued with when they visit Morocco ? It ’ s such a sensory place ; people are really just bowled over by everything from the vivid colors and architecture to the distinctive sounds and the music .
What is the biggest misconception about visiting Morocco ? Some people think it is going to be a closed / repressed environment , which is just not the case at all .
What are your personal three favorite activities that you offer on your dream vacations ? �rin�in� th� ����t� to th�ir �r�t Hammam , taking them to the desert and interacting with the awesome Moroccan local people ; especially the Berber people who are so sweet and kind .
Where will your guests be dining and what can their palates anticipate ? Moroccan food is really so incredibly delicious . Depending on the guests ’ desires , we can bring them to the most unique Moroccan restaurants in each city . The mixture of herbs and spices will have them making a beeline the next day to the open-air ��i�� mar��t to �rin� that �a�or home ! Some guests are more adventurous than others and are willing to try the mom and pop places where the locals go , and / or
some exotic street food ... but no matter which way you lean , the food is memorable , exotic and delicious .
How has your career as a former actress influenced where you are today ? One thing I always hated about acting was that it got in the way of having an adventurous life . You had to stick around LA and wait for work . Now I ’ m rejoicing in my �r���om� � ���nit��y thin� a�tin� helped develop my intuition , which is essential to my new endeavor , as so much of what I do is based on reading people and instinctively catering to their needs .
Dream My Destiny offers film assistance ; please tell us more about how you work with film scouts and on location filming . �a�a ha� �or��� on ��m �hoot� �or �� y�ar� on ��m�� ran�in� �rom th� recent Bond movie to Sex & The City 2 . We can coordinate the details of shoots alongside the best and most trustworthy producers , ensuring permits are organized and scouting needs are met . We also organize housing and transportation for cast and crew , amongst other things .
Do you have a desire to go back into acting ? I don ’ t miss acting because my life is
so full now . Reality is better than make believe .
What is your ideal vacation getaway ? The beach or the desert , because you are forced to STOP and relax in those environments . Morocco is great because everything moves slowly and lots of mint tea breaks are built into the culture !
What is one thing most people would be surprised to learn about you ? I love luxury , but I love to rough it too . Baba and I once stayed 3 nights in the Sahara completely alone ... during the afternoon , we had just a tiny strip of shade from our tent . Time stood still and all we could do was lie in that strip of shade and talk and laugh .
What is your definition of luxury ? When all my senses are happy ... beautiful surroundings for the eyes , enchanting sounds and delicious aromas .
What won ’ t you travel without ? My sense of humor and my sense of adventure .
