Many of my expectations were turned on their head when we arrived in Morocco. I’d read countless articles inferring that female travellers were not treated well in Morocco. That they would be constantly cat-called and harassed in the streets.
My experience of travelling as a woman in Morocco wasn’t like this at all.
Spending a weekend in Marrakech? Whether Marrakech is your only destination or your starting point for travelling Morocco, this Marrakech weekend travel guide reveals the best things to do in Marrakech, the most delicious restaurants in the city and the most beautiful riads. Let’s go.
Climbing Mount Toubkal is serious business. It’s 4,167 metres high. In summer, it’s blisteringly hot. In winter, it’s dangerously cold. Is climbing Mount Toubkal still on your Morocco travel itinerary? Here’s our guide to climbing Mount Toubkal in Morocco.
In this Southern Morocco travel guide, I share our travel route of south Morocco including the best riads in Marrakech, hiking the highest mountain in North Africa and taking a trip to the Sahara desert.
Caye Caulker (pronounced “key corker”) is a Caribbean island off the coast of Belize that is known for excellent snorkelling.
My clearest memory of Caye Caulker is sitting at the end of a jetty watching the sunset. Suddenly, the water itself moved underneath me as an enormous stingray, at least as wide as my outstretched arms, glided past my toes that were dipped in the water below.
Oaxaca is raved about by foodie travellers for its delicious moles. Heralded by culture aficionados for its architecture and botanical gardens. Loved by backpackers for its colourful street art.
Mexico’s hippie beach town Mazunte is one of those destinations that feels like a hidden paradise. This tucked away coastal town in Oaxaca is home to Mexico’s Turtle conservation centre and the best spot in Oaxaca for turquoise sea and golden sandy beaches. In this Mazunte travel guide, I’ll let you in on the best beaches, yoga retreats and sushi cafe in Mazunte.
In this Guanajuato travel guide, I talk about why I loved this city so much, highlight the top five things to do in Guanajuato City and reveal the best places to eat vegetarian food in Guanajuato.
Guanajuato is one of those places that all travellers fall in love with. A more glorious version of San Miguel with fewer gringos, Guanajuato is a UNESCO city with tree-lined plazas, typical colonial architecture and the best hot chocolate in Mexico. Guanajuato is often considered the most beautiful city in Mexico and it’s not hard to see why.
Aruba is a Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela. I’d never heard of the little Dutch-owned island of Aruba until just recently – but though it’s unbeknown to many of us Brits, it’s a popular holiday destination Dutch and for American couples and honeymooners. The island has year-round sunshine, turquoise seas, colonial Dutch architecture and a Latin vibe. Aruba sounds great, right?
San Miguel de Allende is the prettiest city in Mexico.
It’s a small colonial city with UNESCO World Heritage Site status. San Miguel de Allende sits to the northwest of Mexico City in the Bajio mountains. After a month of living in Mexico City, San Miguel was the next stop on our Mexico travel route.
