EPISODE DESCRIPTION
I travelled from Scotland to Morocco on holiday. As soon as I arrived I knew I needed to interview the locals. They were the most philosophical people I had met. Taghazout is a fascinating surf village perched on Morocco’s Atlantic coast - sun-soaked, salt-stained, and full of surprises. We spent 2 days exploring this strange-and-beautiful place, and found way more than perfect waves: unexpected kindness, late-night tea rituals, and stories you won’t hear in a guidebook… Support the show Early access & bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/c/davidmcintoshjr Follow Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidmcintoshjr Buy Merch: originstoryclub.co.uk
