Megan Lower
I am the director of Wanderlust Voyages and the primary point of contact for travelers. I view travel as a way to expand your world view, learning about different cultures and immersing yourself in the local experience. I'm not a fan of traveling halfway around the world (or even just across the nearest border) just to stay in familiar hotels, eat familiar food, and try to go about the cities/towns the way you would at home. Travel is about enjoying new destinations and experiences to their fullest, which means visiting local restaurants, unique accommodations, and, when possible, talking to local residents.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"All of Morocco. From Tangier to the Sahara to Marrakech, and everything in between. Whether you are looking for luxury, adventure, history, or any combination thereof, we can put together the perfect itinerary for you. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I am a lawyer-turned-travel-expert, a journey that began with my first trip to the Sahara Desert. I was so enchanted with Morocco, and the desert region in particular, that I wanted to share it with everyone. This started the conversation with my husband, Belghit (who was born in nearby Rissani), about how we could accomplish bringing friends, family, anyone and everyone to explore the wonders of Morocco. Since then, I dove headfirst into the travel business, expanding my knowledge of both the industry and Morocco. I've already been there more times than I can count, and each time I go, I visit more accommodations, try out new activities, and seek to increase my knowledge of the country, from the ever-changing popular cities like Fes and Marrakech to the more obscure off-the-beaten-path areas like Oujda and Taroudant."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Oh, so many... From transportation adventures to interactions with wild animals to weather failing to cooperate, there are always things that can make travel a unique experience. However, one of the most eye-opening and unique experiences was part of that first trip to the Sahara. I went to visit the home where Belghit grew up. It was a mud-brick house part of an ancient ksar that dates back to the 1700s. Making our way through the winding path inside, cool in the dark away from the bright sun, passing by old mule stalls, a well that once served as their primary source of water, and climbing up the winding steps to bare mud rooms, each opening into a central courtyard. The kitchen still contained a daubed mud oven for baking bread and no running water. It looked like something that you would expect to be from centuries past, not a mere two decades. And yet, that's how Belghit grew up, running down the road to his family's date farm. It was an incredible experience, very eye-opening, and one I will never forget."

Hi Sue,
Thank you for the review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to send us any feedback and thoughts. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your first driver; we'll make note of this for the future. And we'll also make note of the heavy emphasis on shopping during your tour of Fes. Kamal (our tour guide there) usually receives many requests to help travelers buy handicrafts, so this may be why the tour steered in that direction.
Thank you again!

Hi Terry,
Thank you so much for your review. We're glad to hear you had a good trip overall despite the disconnect on our end regarding the bus to the ferry terminal. We love getting feedback on where we've done well and what we can improve on in the future.
I'll also make note of your feedback on the city guides (especially around feeling pressured to buy at the shops) and the glowing reviews for the two Karims!
Thank you again!
