We spent our New Years in the Ourika Valley at the base of the Atlas Mountains.
In this video you can join us as we ate a traditional Tajin meal and rang in the new year to traditional drumming.
We have brought the kids to a World Schooling Hub for the next 6 weeks. They will have classes everyday on a mix of subjects. And a cool thing is every week we will all go on a field trip.
Ill do a more indepth post on World Schooling soon. As im not sure how familiar many people are as to what it even is.
After the New Years Celebration, we went on a hike to a waterfall. A nice way to spend the frist day of the year. All the kids from the World School scampered along a river and climbed anything that seemed dangerous. 🫣 Until a mom yelled to get down. 😜
The day after the hike we had our first field trip planned. To Oukaimeden. The kinda ski resort village. But not the kind of ski resort you generally think of.
So we headed up into the Atlas Mountains to sled or ski or both. Mom, is not really a cold weather person. She had a bit of a melt down. She really doesnt like being cold and doesnt understand why anyone would want to go to cold places.
Lol, skiing and sledding is definately a reason. And so we went.
i didnt have the most appropriate foot wear, and in general we really didnt have the right cloths. I will admit it was very cold....but we survived and had a really amazing sunset over the Atlas Mountains.
It was a great first few days of 2025!
The song in this video is a Moroccan Hip Hop band called Shayfeen. They are singing a song called Darss DL'flow

Dude... you should listen to your wife! "You could die!"
That cracked me up 😂 It reminded me a little of the old cryptobro sketches where she was talking sense at 'the bro' and he wasn't really managing to compute what she was saying 🤣
Thanks for the lols
It does look like a cool adventure you're having in the Atlas Mountains, Morocco. I've never been, but my mum has been the Atlas Mountains many times. I think it is her favorite travel destination.
Cool that you got to do some sledding in the snow 👍
Haha, great comparison with the crypto bro sketches… only thing was that was real…haha.
She is hilarious. Ive never met anyone who hates cold as much as her. But she is a good mom, she want the kids to have fun, enjoy the snow and learn to ski. But she has made it clear she will be whining a lot. 🤣
There will be snow and ice!
Haha, she really doesn’t like the cold. 🥶 🤣
We have been spoiled in Guatemala all these years.
When someone says Morocco, my first association is warm weather, beach, sand... Definitely not snow and mountains... 😃 But, as I can see, you had a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed it a lot!
I 100% agree with her! I have no idea why would someone go to such places and freeze their butt (no pun intended 😃)... On the other side, seeing that sunset, I suppose she forgave you everything... 😃
