Where to stay in Essaouira Morocco
You see, I don’t really want to share this secret with you out of fear that my preferred retreat in Essaouira will no longer be available when I need a break from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. But Dar 91 owners Jeremy and Paolo are just too sweet not to let readers in on my top … Continue reading
Invest in rest
It’s been very quiet on here, I know. But you see, I retreated to Canada this summer for nearly seven weeks. After months and months of non-stop work (and working out), pushing myself to my limits, growing Say Something Communication and taking on new challenges, I decided I needed to invest in rest. And that’s just … Continue reading
Tea time at Dar L’Fchouch
“I feel like we’re hanging out in a cool friend’s apartment,” said this cool fabric designer in town for a weekend of Marrakech Biennale fun! But one that is tucked up on the first floor of an art-deco apartment building down a little street in trendy Gueliz. We were hanging out at Sinaya 28, the home of … Continue reading
Stepping Back in Time at the Tin Mal Mosque
My grandmother once told me it’s not just about the destination, but also about the journey. And that rang so true as I headed off with a driver to travel through the beautiful N’Fis Valley in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains en route to the Tin Mal Mosque. We passed riverbeds filled with olive trees, rugged … Continue reading

And to help you sort out your … Continue reading
Just back from: Ouirgane Valley
It’s been a bit quiet on here lately. That’s because it’s been a bit bonkers in my office. But in a good way. I had the absolute pleasure of handling the international press and professional relations during the sixth edition of the Marrakech Biennale, meeting journalists from leading international publications. Just what I love. Then … Continue reading
Must-see Marrakech Biennale 6 NOT NEW NOW
Arts + festival may just be my two favourite words. So when the Marrakech Biennale comes around every two years, I get ridiculously excited! But this year I had another reason to be excited – I was the international press officer. That’s right. For the weeks leading up to opening week, I had the pleasure … Continue reading
Top sites in Marrakech #3 – Jemaa el Fna
It was one of my favourite sites upon arrival in Marrakech. One that buzzes day and night. But mostly at night. And five years on, it’s still a place I love to visit. That magical place is Jemaa el Fna. From watching the sun set, to eating in the food stalls and listening to the traditional music … Continue reading
Azemmour, Morocco’s off-the-beaten path small town
“Have I just been dumped in a field?” asked this gal upon disembarking the train in Azemmour. “Yes,” I responded, “but just walk to the top of the road and you’ll find a taxi.” And so started our weekend getaway in coastal Azemmour, a town where tourism is still relatively undeveloped and street art livens … Continue reading
How I learned to love Fes Morocco
Fes. Morocco’s oldest city. Home of the first university, al-Qarrawiyyan. And known as the gastronomical capital of Morocco. But a city I cannot say I love. For reasons that I just cannot explain. You see I arrived there most recently for the Fes Festival of Sacred Music. I’d been to this imperial city few times … Continue reading
