I ended up using an internet cafe later on my trip in Morocco, and they had fast wifi. So that is a possible solution to the slow internet problem. It will depend a lot on where you are. Another possibility is getting a local sim card that will connect you to the faster cell phone towers. The problem with that, as well as getting a roaming wifi device, is that in both cases you get limited data. My video files are anywhere from 5 to 30 gigabytes each, which means that I need hundreds of gigabytes of data for a month of uploading videos. If anyone has any more tips or info on how to deal with slow wifi while traveling then feel free to post a comment below.

You can go just to a cafe, most of them have fiber optic, thats what I do when I want to upload my vids, raids and homes have ADSL cause its cheap its starts form 200dh 4mb/s download (upload is baaaad).

In the past I've noticed that at some hotels I could use an ethernet cable instead of wifi. I found out that it was much faster as wifi. Since that day I always carried a small ethernet cable in my laptopbag.

When I was in Morocco, a few years ago, I bought a local sim card and it worked really good. Good speeds in the main cities, at least. Another thing I generally bring with me when I'm travelling is a portable 4g/3g hotspot with an external antenna. You just put a sim card in it and the reception is generally better than your phone's. Uploading 30 Gb worth of data may be a problem though since these local plans limit how much data you can use (unless you pay for the more expensive plans).

In a cafe in the square at 14:00 we watched Morocco play Argentina in a soccer game in March of 2019, with my daughter wearing hijab out of respect, as a thunder storm rumbled through. Great memories.

No need to go out of your way to wear a hijab. Most moroccan girls don't wear it as they know that the hijab was invented to separate slave women from free women

I love this city, I stayed there nearly one month which was amazing
What a beautiful place, thinking of going there in February or March. This place reminded me a bit of jodhpur in India
Yes, very colorful. The sun, makes it more colorful. 🌞My favorite color is blue, I bought a,blue carpet in Fez or Marakesh,can't remember which. Still have it after many yrs.🤗
Looks like a charming little town and nice weather too.
Moroccan people specially in the north are respectful and respect the visitors. Maybe Gabriel can notice this.

According to muslim believe, "Gabriel" is the name of the angel who took the prophet Mohamed from Mecca to Jerusalem then to the seventh sky in one night. However "Gabriel traveler" in few minutes took us through long narow streets of a blue maze to the mountain and the open sky of Chefchawen. What amazing performance !!🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing.
Gabriel, thanks for the video, it is a good promotion of Morocco tourism, certainly you have the information about the city or place that you are planning to visit, I would just suggest to check in the internet about Assilah city, it's coastal town, near Tangier, and there is a Portuguese castle, and it's also quite place to visit.
I follow Gabriel for years. He is a a very polite ( I think his politeness has more to do with his Canadian born than being American) individual or as he call himself a digital nomad. He wears an Indian god shirt in a Muslim county. He likes food and restaurants , and historically places but not much shopping centers! He tell good stories and share his expertise to his viewers freely in full! Good genuine man! Amazing how we get to know someone without ever meeting them!

FUNNY ASIDE: Moray (above) comments notes that he believes Gabriel's politeness comes from his Canadian side....I LAUGHED OUTLOUD. I worked for a Canadian company for the best of my career and as soon as I saw your comment, it hit me.....hE'S RIGHT...ABSOLUTELY FROM THE CANADIAN SIDE. Love my Canadians! Wish I was still working and traveling in your wonderful country, and miss seeing my many Canadian friends.

Where you are born has no effect on your personality--it is where you grew up that influences your personality. Gabriel grew up in America---California. Most Americans are very kind, caring, and polite. The ones who aren't--get all the attention--but they are the minority.

@@margietucker1719 Thanks for straightening out commenter Moray. I have lived my entire life in California and it seems those that come here from other countries just for the money have totally missed what Americana is all about. Americans donate more money to foreign aid than all the nations of the world combined. And the Christian subset of Americans do most of the giving. We build the schools, the hospitals, etc.
Chefchaun looks really amazing every building is bleu very cool.
Amazing video! I'm really looking forward to this series. I loved watching the local people walking through their town. The narrow paths through the town are so amazing. I'm glad you finally found good internet connection. Hard to do your job without it.

Beautiful blue..love the cave style homes..
Incredible! The best series of Moroccan videos I’ve ever seen
Looks like a lovely old town. So far no graffiti 👌
By far the best part of your journey and that hotel is simply stunning 😍 yes, a true work of art including the city of Chefchaquen 👌🏼keep safe dude and safe travels 😌🙏🏼
Great video and place. It's nice to see a video of a place that isn't packed with other tourists.
Awesome Gabe, been looking forward to this one!
What beautiful colors and architecture! Lovely!
Another great video of Morocco that made my day! Thanks Gabriel. Never knew that uploading a video to you tube could take that long.
Beautiful city. Thanks Gabriel for making us travel around the world with your videos.
Looks like a cool place to walk around and explore. Thanks for the heads-up.
What a magnificent place. As always, great video.
I ❤️ the Moroccan videos Gabe. Good job 👍🏻
Excellent vlog in this beautiful blue town.. The landscape is great too...as for your hotel room... so much artistic creativity... unbelievable ... People seem to be more relaxed in the north . Thank you for sharing so much light and sun. Best greetings from Paris 🖐
Great video G, loving travelling Maroc with you.
Great series of videos
Unbelievable Gabe. What a place. Love and Light as always x
So much colour! I love it! 🙌☺️
Wonderful video 📹 Thanks Gabriel 👍❤
Love the blues 💙 great town & video !
Another great video from another wonderful place. You have been to so many exotic places in this world, Gabe, but I bet you I have been to one place that neither you nor most people have ever been.... Benghazi, Libya. Yep. My family lived there for about year when I was a child. I learned to swim in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Benghazi. Wonderful memories.
I must upload your choice of middleeastern music. The Oud (musical instrument used in the video) is such an iconic and traditional instrument that brings me back to my childhood in Syria. Thank you for one of the most authentic traveler experiences here on KZread and i hope that u one day consider visiting Syria
Chefchaouen is a perfect place to wander and take photos. ... Chefchaouen is one of the most touristy places I visited in Morocco so two days there definitely felt like enough, but it's so beautiful and unique that it was still worth the journey up into the mountains to see Morocco's magical blue city.
15:19 Pastilla, different than pasta! Give it a try!
Every turn you make is a WOW moment.
What a beautiful blue and peaceful city. This is a very very nice video
The guest house is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth staying just outside the old town. I had a shock seeing 2016 when you were travelling through the Atlas mountains… doesn’t seem that long ago! Morocco is beautiful , take care
Westerns (ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST) were filmed in Morocco. Familiar landscape.

Bro, you're very townbound in this country, every video after video just walking around these medinas endlessly in each new destination, it's all startin to look alike my G. Wassup with your sudden lack of adventure? We wanna see you hit the deserts, mountains, villages, remote areas, ancient joints like in that Roman ruins place. Find some rental car, taxi or by whatever means and get out there, enough of these cobbled streets and carpets and such already, damn!

Hi Gabriel, It's a good point you brought up regarding WiFi connection there are listing showing coutries with the best connection which belongs to Singapore and the worst belonging to Cuba of course there must be excetions depending on where you're staying. You mentioned T-Mobile they do offer a hotspot modem which might work it definitely works in the U.S. but it might work overseas.go to check.
Hi Gabriel, Greetings from Florida. A side note: Please reframe from using the term "Berber" as it can be offending since it was imposed by the colonists. It came from the word barbarian and as you have experienced, those people are hospitable, nice, and generally good people. The right term is Amazigh.
