Getting stranded in London over the weekend has its perks—meeting NextTribe staffer Safa Abd Elhamid.
Jeannie Ralston is home after a long travel ordeal caused by the snowstorm that swept through the country last weekend. You can read about how she held it together (or not) in this week’s article.
But the chaos of returning did not in anyway diminish the joy of the trip she led to Southern India. “We are definitely going to do the trip again, with a few tweaks. We built the two weeks around the idea of slow travel, and I think everyone loved how it played out,” she says.
If India has ever been on your bucket list, Ralston invites you to come to our virtual AFTER PARTY on Thursday, Feb. 4th. You’ll get to see lots of photos and hear from this year’s travelers about what made the trip so memorable and special.
NextTribers in Marrakesh and Edmunds in a Berber Village in the Atlas Mountains.
Jeannie Edmunds is in another fascinating country—Morocco. She and her travelers just arrived in Adazen in the Atlas Mountains, after a drive in a caravan of 4x4s from Marrakesh.
“I’m an Asia/Latin America lover so I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy this trip but everything on the itinerary has been a delightful surprise, and I may have to lay claim to this trip next year, too. I LOVE it here!” She is seeing posts from her travelers that show they adore it as much as she does.
Pssst! If you’ve been thinking about Morocco, we have some last-minute spaces on our February 21st departure. Plan your escape from the madness.
And now, enjoy the reads!

Jeannie Ralston says, “How brilliant is this—a faux fur scarf to keep you warm during the cold spell over much of the country with the bonus of a pocket to keep your phone, keys or chapstick. I’m all about pockets—even found a wedding dress with pockets—so this is right up my alley. Efficient. Versatile. And hands-free!”
