If you don’t follow @riadjardinsecret on Instagram you probably should now and then book a flight to Marrakech immediately…or suffer through a severe case of Wanderlust.

Essaouira - Beautiful Encounters

After a short stay in Marrakech staying at the lovely Riad Jardin Secret, I made my way to the seaside town of Essaouira. Being from San Diego I think I always need to be near the water.

Morocco - Road to the Sahara

As soon as we reached the top of the High Atlas mountains, the clouds started to break and blue sky started to appear. At that moment a visual feast of different colors and textures was before my eyes as a lot had been hidden from the fog and clouds.

Marrakech - Finding Peace

My journey from San Diego to Morocco was a long one. I had a flight to Russia where I was for 16 hours, then a 24 hour layover in Madrid where I left the airport for a bit, a short 2 hour flight to Marrakech and then entered a completely different world.
