Trina Forestier

Morocco Destination Specialist

Morocco is not just a destination I recommend — it is a country I have lived in, studied in, and experienced from the inside. Through studying abroad in Morocco and spending extended time living here, I have developed a deep, personal understanding of the country that goes far beyond surface-level tourism. This firsthand experience allows me to guide travelers with confidence, honesty, and insight, helping them experience Morocco in a way that feels both exciting and comfortable, immersing yet well supported.

Living in Morocco has given me a true appreciation for the rhythm of daily life, the nuances of culture, and the differences between regions that are not always obvious to first-time visitors. I have navigated cities independently, used local transportation, interacted with residents in everyday settings, and learned how Morocco functions beyond curated tour experiences. This background has allowed me to design trips that anticipate common challenges, respect cultural norms, and feel realistic rather than rushed or overwhelming.

Morocco is a country of contrasts, where ancient traditions coexist with modern life. Bustling medinas sit beside contemporary neighborhoods, centuries-old architecture frames lively cafés, and desert landscapes are only hours away from coastal towns. One of my strengths as a travel advisor is helping travelers understand these contrasts and plan an itinerary that flows naturally, without trying to see too much too quickly. Living in Morocco allowed me to truly absorb the country’s unhurried way of life, and I enjoy helping travelers experience it at a pace that encourages curiosity, connection, and discovery while aligning with the rhythm of the culture.

Marrakech is often the first city travelers think of when imagining Morocco, and for good reason. With its vibrant souks, historic palaces, lush gardens, and energetic Jemaa el-Fna square, Marrakech is an unforgettable introduction to the country. Through my time in Morocco, I have learned how to navigate Marrakech beyond the tourist hot spots — understanding which neighborhoods feel most authentic, how to balance guided experiences with free exploration, and when to step away from the crowds.

If a busy city isn’t what you imagine your trip to be, a camping excursion in the Sahara Desert is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I recommend for anyone traveling to Morocco. With the glowing dunes, traditional music with the locals, and campfires under the night sky of endless stargazing, this will become the emotional highlight of your entire Moroccan vacation. Not only is it a getaway from modern distractions, but it also allows travelers to reflect, experience peace, and engage with their senses in a luxurious camp setting. 

Tangier is a city shaped by movement and exchange, sitting at the crossroads of Africa and Europe where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. Its relaxed medina, coastal cafés, and whitewashed streets offer a calmer, more reflective atmosphere than many of Morocco’s larger cities. With a blend of Moroccan tradition and international influence, Tangier provides travelers with cultural depth, scenic beauty, and a sense of transition that makes it an ideal beginning or ending point for a Moroccan journey.

Chefchaouen, the famous blue city of Morocco, is also a must-see when visiting the north. Chefchaouen, nestled in the Rif Mountains, is known for its striking blue-washed streets and peaceful atmosphere. Slower-paced and more intimate than Morocco’s major cities, it invites travelers to wander, observe, and connect with local life. With its mountain setting, artisan shops, and relaxed rhythm, Chefchaouen offers a refreshing contrast and a sense of calm that makes it a memorable stop in northern Morocco.

What sets me apart as a travel advisor is my ability to translate lived experience into practical guidance. I help travelers understand what to expect culturally, how to dress comfortably and respectfully, how to interact with locals, and how to move through cities with confidence. I can address concerns honestly and realistically. Rather than relying on stereotypes or marketing language, I offer clear advice based on real experience, helping travelers feel prepared rather than intimidated.

My role as a travel advisor is not just to plan logistics, but to act as a bridge between cultures. I help travelers engage with Morocco thoughtfully, whether that means understanding local customs, appreciating regional differences, or approaching new experiences with openness and respect. 

Choosing a travel advisor who knows Morocco from personal experience can make all the difference. I bring insight gained from living here, navigating the cities firsthand, and understanding the rhythm of everyday life. This allows me to offer personalized itineraries that are practical, helping travelers experience Morocco not just as visitors, but as engaged and informed guests.

Spain Vacation Specialist

Spain is a country I came to know not only as a visitor passing through, but as a place I lived in and experienced day-to-day. Spending a full year living in the Valencian Community gave me a deeper understanding of Spanish culture, regional differences, and the rhythms of daily life that shape a truly memorable trip. That firsthand experience now guides how I help travelers explore Spain — with intention, balance, and a focus on meaningful moments rather than rushed sightseeing.

Living in Valencia allowed me to experience Spain beyond its most famous highlights. I learned how cities function when the crowds fade, how locals structure their days around food, family, and community, and how important pace is to enjoying Spanish culture. Valencia itself offered a unique blend of historic charm and modern energy, where centuries-old architecture meets innovative design, expansive green spaces, and a vibrant culinary scene rooted in tradition. This balance deeply shaped how I now plan travel for others.

As a Spain vacation specialist, I draw on my time living abroad to help travelers experience the country in a natural, immersive way. I understand the differences between regions — from coastal cities and island escapes to inland cultural centers — and help travelers plan itineraries that flow smoothly without feeling overpacked. My approach emphasizes thoughtful pacing, local experiences, and time to truly absorb each destination truly.

Food and daily life play a central role in any trip to Spain, and living there gave me an appreciation for how deeply meals are woven into the culture. From local markets and neighborhood cafés to long lunches and evening strolls, I help travelers experience Spain through its culinary traditions and social rhythms, rather than rushing from attraction to attraction.

Thailand Journey Travel Agent Expert

Thailand is a country I came to know not only through brochures or resort stays, but also by backpacking my way from the mountains of the north to the islands of the south. Traveling slowly allowed me to experience Thailand as it is lived every day — navigating cities and villages, using local transportation, and connecting with people along the way. This journey has shaped how I now plan travel for others, with a focus on authenticity, balance, and meaningful experiences.

My time in northern Thailand introduced me to a side of the country rooted in tradition, spirituality, and community. In places like Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, I learned the value of slowing down, wandering temple grounds, exploring local markets, spending time at the waterfalls in the surrounding countryside, and even helping out at the elephant sanctuaries. Traveling through the north gave me a deep appreciation for Thailand’s cultural foundations and natural beauty, and I now help travelers experience these regions in a way that feels respectful, immersive, and unhurried.

The city of Bangkok brought yet another shift in pace and atmosphere. I didn’t expect to love Bangkok as much as I did. What began as a brief stop quickly turned into an extended stay, as the city’s energy, street life, rooftop restaurants, and cultural depth completely won me over. From a relaxing crafty cafe to walking the busy street markets during the night, I love to recommend this city to all travelers, as they can create their own personal experience at the pace of their choosing.

As I made my way down, Southern Thailand’s islands offer a striking contrast to the country’s beach towns, with turquoise waters, dramatic limestone cliffs, and a slower, more relaxed pace of life. Each island has its own personality, from lively hubs with social energy to quiet escapes focused on nature and tranquility. Whether island-hopping by boat, snorkeling in clear waters, or unwinding on palm-lined beaches, the south offers a slow-down, recharge experience, a more reflective side of Thailand.

What sets me apart as a Thailand travel agent is my ability to translate real, on-the-ground experience into practical guidance. I understand the logistics of moving through the country, the differences between regions, and the small details that can make or break a trip. I help travelers plan journeys that feel realistic and well-paced, avoiding the common mistake of trying to do too much too quickly. As a travel agent, my goal is not simply to plan itineraries, but to help travelers experience Thailand with curiosity, respect, and connection.
