Holidays in Morocco During Ramadan
When we first realized our family trip to Morocco would fall during Ramadan, I’ll admit I felt uncertain. As a mom traveling with kids, I worried about logistics, food schedules, and whether we would unintentionally offend someone. I had questions running through my head: Would restaurants be open? Would my children feel restricted? Would traveling during such an important religious month feel uncomfortable for us as visitors?

The EXplorer
I am a follower of all things Travel and Adventure, my eyes light up at the discovery of a new flight route to Armenia, A camel trek in the Western Sahara or a Windsurfing trip in Naxos. I sometime discover information about destinations so far removed from any known tourist guides that I cannot even pinpoint them on the world map without tracing the steps of previous explorers with some kind of obsessive desire to find the answers. The thought of the unknown is what drives my spirit of adventure, I leave scribbles and notes in diaries about trips and ideas far into the future, even if they are not viable or I never embark on them, but each idea is what inspires and motivates me to keep taking those steps to find what is over the horizon.

The Genius Idea of Stopovers in Warsaw
Normally I aim to spend anywhere from two to three hours between connecting flights at international airports before moving on promptly to my final destination. In the adventure my wife and I undertook, we had a stopover in Warsaw of a whopping seven-and-a-half hours **during the day**. There is no way any airport is so good to spend that much time there during the day, so we were definitely going to see the city. But was it worth it? Could we see something and get back to our connecting flight without being frazzled?
