Tagines & Trails
Beyond coding, web architecture, and micro-soldering: exploring Morocco's rugged mountains, camping on remote peaks, and preparing traditional Moroccan tagines over cedar firewood embers.
Featured Episode
Episode 01 · High Atlas SeriesA trek through the winter snows of Oukaimden (2,600m+) down toward the rushing streams and waterfalls of Setti Fatma in the Ourika Valley. Gathering firewood in crisp alpine air, setting up the camp stove, and slow-simmering an authentic mountain tagine over cedar coals.
Expedition Themes & Philosophy
What Tagines & Trails is about: pure nature, traditional cooking, and mountain serenity.
High Atlas & Anti-Atlas Treks
Traversing high-altitude passes, snowlines at Oukaimden, Toubkal national park ridges, and isolated valleys across Morocco on foot.
Firewood Tagine Gastronomy
Slow-cooking traditional Moroccan clay tagines with fresh local market cuts and seasonal vegetables directly over fragrant cedar and juniper embers.
Wilderness Ridge Bivouacs
Setting up cold-weather mountain camps on remote ridgelines to capture dramatic sunrise vistas and star-filled night skies above the clouds.
Raw Acoustic Atmosphere
Preserving natural mountain soundscapes without intrusive background tracks — listening to bubbling tagines, mountain wind, and rushing alpine water.
Creator's Field Note
“Tagines & Trails is my creative outlet and personal reset away from screens, code, and microscope soldering benches. When you spend the week debugging high-concurrency distributed systems and repairing micro-electronics, there is nothing more grounding than hiking six hours into the High Atlas, lighting cedar twigs with flint, and listening to water gently simmering inside a clay tagine under an open sky.”
