JOURNAL / 旅人日誌

這是一個關於承諾與努力的故事。現在的他,在馬拉喀什(Marrakech)是一名深受客人喜愛、回客率極高的司機兼導遊;但很多人不知道,在他尚未站穩腳步前,曾為了實現我們共同的願景,默默地付出常人難以想樣的辛苦努力。

在我們剛在一起的那段時間,正值旅遊淡季。為了讓生病且怕熱的母親能在舒適的環境休養,他們一家搬到了氣候涼爽的米德特(Midelt)。在大城市之外,工作機會寥寥無幾,但他始終沒有放棄尋找賺錢的機會。有一天,他突然告訴我:「我要去挖石頭。」

我滿頭問號:「什麼石頭?」他說,Midelt 附近的山區蘊藏著釩鉛礦。如果運氣好,順著碎石挖到巨大的「母石」,就能賣個好價錢。因為白天高溫難耐,他與朋友只能趁著半夜進山,熬夜在漆黑的山裡挖礦。

當時山區收訊極差,我常常找不到他。而他每次挖完礦回家,總會全身痠痛地倒頭大睡兩三天。不知情的我,曾誤以為他對生活不夠積極,甚至為此跟他大吵了一架。直到他無奈地向我解釋,我才知道-他們沒有任何大型機器,完全是用最原始的「小鏟子」,靠著雙手在堅硬的礦脈裡徒手煉鋼。

聽完他的解釋,我瞬間覺得自己真是壞透了,自己完全沒有體諒他的用心。這件事讓我覺得好氣又好笑,我從沒想過,會有一個男人為了我們未來的願景,跑去深山裡做這麼粗重危險的工作。

我們始終相信神與我們同在。如今,他的導遊事業越來越穩定。那些在黑夜裡揮灑的汗水與長滿繭的雙手,都化作了他接待每一位旅客時,最踏實也最真誠的底氣。

English Version (The Story of Resilience)

Building a Future with Bare Hands as an Authentic Morocco Tour Guide

Initially, choosing an Authentic Morocco tour guide means finding someone with true resilience and a sincere heart. Before he became a highly requested guide with excellent return rates in Marrakech, our journey faced immense challenges. Specifically, during the off-season, he moved to Midelt to care for his sick mother in a cooler climate. Consequently, finding stable work was extremely difficult.

In order to create a more stable future for us, he took on an unimaginable task: mining for Vanadinite crystals in the rugged Atlas Mountains. In fact, to avoid the brutal daytime heat, he and his friends dug entirely by hand using only small shovels through the night. Furthermore, they followed tiny stone fragments in the dark, hoping to uncover a valuable “mother stone.”

Because of the poor phone signal in the mountains and his physical exhaustion that lasted for days, I initially misunderstood his absence. After a small argument, I finally learned the grueling truth of his manual labor. I was deeply moved . Indeed, this incredible dedication is exactly what makes him such a trustworthy Authentic Morocco tour guide today.

To summarize, those difficult nights in the mountains built the foundation of our life together. We always believed that God was with us. Today, every traveler who meets him experiences the genuine care and hard-earned strength of a truly Authentic Morocco tour guide.

Travel with a team that knows the true meaning of dedication.

與一個真正懂得付出的團隊一起旅行。
