As a younger traveler, I downloaded an app called ‘Been’. You use it to keep count of how many countries you’ve visited. I came across it recently and noticed how meticulously I used to keep the tally; even those I had stopped in briefly as layovers – only heading out of the airport for a bite to eat. I used to say I didn’t want to revisit a destination twice as there was so much of the world to see. But not anymore.

Now, it’s all about quality, not quantity. My Black Tomato research trip to Northern Morocco was case in point. My first time in the country, I was told how completely different the rest of Morocco is and that my next trip must be to the south. Although I can say I’ve been to Morocco, there’s still so much more of it I want to experience. I will always remember this as the trip that taught me that a checklist will never give you the same satisfaction as seeing somewhere again and again, and always differently.
