BRACK: Never thought about visiting Casablanca in distant Morocco

JULY 10, 2018  |  Yes, travel of any kind, either international or to visit the Varsity, is something that I enjoy. But somehow, I had never thought I might be interested in the city of Casablanca, in darkest Africa.

Yes, we’ve enjoyed that movie, one of the best ever, a propaganda piece released in 1942 before the United State entered World War II on African soil. And yes, Casablanca the city sounds exotic, but it also reeks of sand and a third-world underbelly that doesn’t have a deep appeal.

FORKNER: Traveling Gwinnettian plans to climb Africa’s highest peak

By Daniel Forkner, part two of a series | RABAT, Morocco — In late January of this year, I left home in Gwinnett County to travel the world. So far I have been to nine countries and many more cities. One of the most memorable experiences so far has been hitchhiking for three days on a zero budget.
