Getting hit up for money is genuine Africa. Not sure it gets more genuine.
Some guy plans to travel Africa in modded Jeep

Until then, it is a usual hustle to try to get seemingly inexperienced tourists to follow people down a rabbit hole and then ask them for money. This idiot will never even figure out Morocco (which is an easy egg to crack, so to speak) and will get robbed and murdered by the first AQIM bandit he encounters. It's really just a matter of time.
Morocco is full of genuinely friendly and nice people that they aren't just after your money. You just aren't going to find them walking around a medina. It would be like walking onto a car lot then being appalled someone tried to sell you a car
Anyone know a detail service I'm Morrocco?? \Dan
When I start getting muzungued, I whip out my Zambia National Registration Card and tell them Ndine Zambian! They should have known by looking at me.
Asked him if he was ever leaving Morroco or has he given up and he said he has 2 years so no rush....

Am I an a*****e for hoping someone robs this condescending idiot? Why should local Morroccans give a damn about making a "connection" with some naive westerner who is only doing this to fulfil some self serving desire to appear "worldly" to a bunch of other westerners on social media.

what did you do to get suspended on twitter?

He would be really lucky if someone beat him senseless and stole his jeep before he gets into real trouble.
Morocco chose me for 3 weeks...and then I went home!
Like I said before, I could spend a long time in the Atlas Mountains. They fascinate me greatly.

He misspelled adventure in his #jeepadventure
It's okay- he only spelled it wrong in the second hashtag wo the capitalization

He has #JK in there. He knows he is trolling us.
I'm going to drive around the Horn of Africa from Morocco and back in 2 years. JK

He sucks at photography almost as much as he sucks at making progress.
His Moraccan food experience isn't nearly as interesting as Andrew Zimmer's. Need to pair those two up for food selection, and see how long Dan lasts in Africa.
New pool-when does he start wearing the robes the native men wear to allow for the weight he's gained eating?
We'll have some mbeba on the grill here in Eastern Zambia if he makes it this far. (not the proper spelling, but I guess the TexAgs filters won't allow a w with a ^ over it-has a v sound).

Might as well prepare for him to spend 2-3 weeks in Marrakesh.
I thought I remembered you being a brah. That's why I wasn't too critical in my response because I fully realized that I could have misunderstood.

Is he still in freakin Morocco?!
Relax. He has two years. It is what it is.
He may still be in Morocco in 2 years
