Layover: Turkey sandwich in Turkey, had to do it. One of the difficulties of planning our journey around the world was choosing destinations, but I always knew that I wanted to check out Dubai. Luckily Louise had no qualms and we were slated on spending a week there in order to find out what it…

Another amazing swell was predicted to hit Morocco in a couple of days. The Fiz knew it was going to be epic and a road trip to the south was our best chance of scoring. We packed our bags, piled our boards on the roof of the car, and began our journey south. The Fiz…
