How I Fell in Love with Morocco
A last-minute trip to Marrakech, a smile, a glass of mint tea and a night under the stars on a riad rooftop. Co-founder Aerilynn on how Morocco won her over.

A private journey through Morocco, built entirely around you — where you go, what you eat, who drives you, and where you lay your head each night. No fixed itineraries. No tour buses. No guessing.

SudEst Nomad Travel is Moroccan private tours built around one person: you.
We're not a travel agency handing you a brochure of the greatest hits. Every trip starts with an actual conversation. What are you chasing on this trip? Silence out past the last dune. A tagine that ruins every tagine after it. A riad where the rooftop view is worth setting an alarm for. A driver who's been on these roads long enough to know which stories go with which stretch of road.
Once we know that, we build around it. The riads, the private drivers, the airport pickups, the dinners nobody finds on their own, all of it shaped to how you actually like to travel, not how a package assumes you do.
Call it what it is. Not a package. A Morocco that gets built once, for you, and doesn't exist again the same way twice.

SudEst Nomad Travel was founded by Mohamed Jounh, a Moroccan native with deep roots in the country's culture, cities, and back roads, and Aerilynn Wetherell, an American who fell hard for Morocco and never really left. Between them, they cover both sides of the experience — the insider's address book and the outsider's eye for what a traveler actually needs to feel cared for, comfortable, and awed in equal measure.
Read our storyA short consultation — your interests, your pace, your must-haves and your dealbreakers.
A custom itinerary: cities, riads, drivers, excursions, dinners — sequenced and sourced by people who actually know the country.
Private transfers, a driver who knows you're coming, and a trip that feels less like a vacation and more like being expected somewhere.

A few notes from guests who let us plan their time in Morocco.
Aerilynn showed us adventures on our trip we never would have discovered on our own. We were able to visit incredible locations and experience some of the best restaurants in the city—places we would have never found without her local knowledge. The entire trip felt effortless, personal, and full of experiences we’ll be talking about for years.
A special thank you to Moha, who took the time to give us a very thorough explanation of the city, including useful tips and recommendations that made our visit even more enjoyable.
A huge thank you to Mohamed for such a warm welcome. He was very patient and gave us excellent, very useful advice for our trip. Would highly recommend working with him.
Aerilynn created such a special way for me to experience my first trip overseas. She made sure I felt comfortable and safe. What made the trip so memorable was that these were places I had actually seen in magazines, and she made sure I was able to see them up close.
The highlight was the service, which went above and beyond. Everyone was extremely kind and attentive and made us feel very at home. Mohammad was especially helpful and gave us great advice on what to do with our time in Marrakech. We had some great chats where we learned a lot from him. Above all, he and everyone else made our stay in Morocco very special.
Aerilynn helped us put together an incredible vacation. Every part of the trip felt thoughtfully planned without feeling rushed. It was the perfect combination of adventure and culture.
Mohammad was extremely helpful from all points of view… organizing taxis, pointing out places of interest and kindly taking care of our family from start to finish.
