I’m in Marrakesh for a few days! finally experiencing a place that’s been on my wishlist for a very long time…and already I’m thinking… he was right!
. this time last year, I was chatting with my Dad while he told me stories about his time here -
the markets, the smells, the bartering, the food and the people they met along the way.
I told him I’d always wanted to come.
Especially to wander the souks and take a cooking class.
He said to me “You just need to do that. You would love it.”
A few weeks ago, an offer popped up for a hotel I’d been eyeing…and his voice was in my head.
So I booked it!
Marrakech is like an assault on the senses!
the sights, the sounds, the smells. It’s incredible!! and in the middle of all that, you notice the everyday rhythms & rituals of the locals - like the local community bread ovens in the Medina where families and small businesses bring their dough to be baked fresh each day. Theres such a strong sense of community here and the bartering is in a class of its own!
…And now that I’m here walking these streets, taking it all in, Im just really glad I made it..
To experience it for myself, and to visit some of the places my dad talked about. ❤️ it feels good to be a bit adventurous in my 50s - especially when anxiety can so easily hold you back at this life stage..
I am happy to share the details just DM me if interested- I will also post some info to my highlights
