about Zouina
Passionate about travel and new cultural discoveries, I turned my hobby into my profession. Today, I continue to travel the world from East to West and North to South, concocting unusual or more classic tours for other travellers to enjoy. My mantra in life :
Travel as much as you can, As far that you can, As long as you can*
* Voyagez autant que vous le pouvez, aussi loin que vous le pouvez, aussi longtemps que vous le pouvez

Zouina
With over 25 years' experience, at the age of 50 I want to share my globetrotting experience to inspire as many people as possible!
I love the idea of ‘concocting’ lasting memories of beautiful encounters and unique experiences.
So when Kareen came to me with the idea of creating a cocoon together so that every woman we meet on our journey through life can emerge stronger and more serene,
a star lit up in my head.
The first idea that popped into my head was Marrakech! It's a magical place with so much energy and so much light that I knew that's where we'd put down our suitcases.
Curious, enthusiastic and determined, I put my experience and my traveller's eye to good use on this unique retreat.
After wandering the length and breadth of this endearing city, we've unearthed some nuggets that will make your retreat a timeless getaway to reconnect with yourself.
Zouina through Kareen's eyes
Zouina is much more than a business partner to me. She's my dearest friend, the one who, for 25 years, has shared my life with a loyalty and wisdom that have never wavered.
We met in tourism, a lifetime ago. From the very first day, it was clear that a deep friendship had been born. With Zouina, nothing was ever superficial. Our lives have taken different paths, but we have always moved forward side by side, supporting each other through the challenges, the doubts and the joys.
She is my conscience and my wisdom, the one I always turn to when life seems unclear or uncertain. Zouina has that rare talent of finding the right words, the ones that soothe, enlighten and put things into perspective. She knows how to help me to move forward, to see more clearly, and to find answers within myself that I thought were lost.
Why did we choose to work together?
Because it was obvious, once again. Zouina has this ability to transform ideas into reality, and she has chosen to make it her profession. Her knowledge of travel, her flawless organisation and her instinctive understanding of women's needs make her an ideal partner for Serenity Sisters Retreats. But what makes this collaboration unique is the unbreakable friendship that binds us.
She is the discreet but powerful soul of my project, and I couldn't imagine running it with anyone else but her.
If our retreats in Marrakech are a refuge for women seeking to reconnect with themselves, it's also because Zouina puts all her heart, vision and experience into them. Zouina has spent part of her life in Marrakech, and she knows every nook and cranny.
She is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful encounters of my life, and proof that some friendships are gifts that never stop growing.
Thank you for being there, Zouina.
