Dreaming of Travel
Tuscany, Italy
The entire Artisans of Leisure team is hoping that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. Like you, we're passionate travelers, and we're dreaming of getting back to traveling internationally. We're thinking of all of you and can't wait to plan new trips for you again soon!
One of the things we love most about traveling is the food. For us, food is an important (and delicious) way into local culture and a major highlight of travel. We've asked our travel specialists to share some of the meals and culinary experiences that they can't wait to have again once international travel resumes. Read more on our blog.

Conde Nast Traveler Top Travel Specialist: Morocco
Artisans of Leisure travel expert Mike Korn in Morocco
We're excited to announce that Artisans of Leisure travel expert Mike Korn has been named Conde Nast Traveler's top Morocco specialist for the fourth year in a row.
Mike has planned hundreds of private Morocco tours and knows the country inside and out. We asked him what he's missing most about Morocco these days:
- The energy: In places like the Djemaa el-Fna (the main public square in Marrakesh), a lively Berber market in the Atlas Mountains or the fishing port in Essaouira, Morocco always has a palpable energy that is intoxicating.
- The people: There are few places I've been that are as welcoming as Morocco. Moroccans are warm, inviting and smart. I've been fortunate to make a lot of friends there, and they always make me feel like I've returned home.
- The spices and the food: I cook a lot, and I aspire to achieve the flavor profiles of Moroccan dishes and the smells of the spice market. I also really miss the complexity of a perfect Moroccan lamb tangia (different from its cousin the tagine) from Al Fassia Gueliz in Marrakesh.
- The craftsmanship: In my opinion, Moroccan design is extremely underappreciated. The tile and woodwork in a ryad rivals some of the best handiwork you can find anywhere. Not to mention the grandeur and meticulousness of the decor in the most opulent hotels.
- The diverse landscapes: In one day you can see large metropolitan cities, green and lush mountain ranges (with snow), the red sand of the Sahara Desert and the bright blue water of the sea.
Congratulations Mike!

We cherish the relationships that we've built with so many travelers who have trusted us to design and plan their family tours around the world. We've watched their children grow and have continued to plan their tours as their families have expanded and new generations have arrived.
Once travel reopens, family travel will be more important than ever, especially for our travelers who prioritize meaningful time together, safety and expertly planned travel arrangements.
