The Marrakech medina has got to be one of the wildest, most fascinating bazaars I’ve ever gotten lost in (and get lost you will - it’s enormous and labyrinthine at an impressive scale). But there is a bit of method to its madness, with many areas focusing on distinct items like jewelry and decor, or produce and meats, textiles and kaftans - and yes, also those gorgeous Beni Ourain and kilim rugs. Pack lightly as you’re certain to return with plenty of souvenirs. + + + #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #traveling #traveltheworld #ig_worldclub #cntraveller #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #morocco #marrakech #marrakesh #medina #jemaaelfna #bazaar #souk #shopping #decor #rugs #carpet #handicrafts #northafrica
The sun rises fairly late this time of year in Marrakech - around 8.15am - which has left me ample time to be well awake to watch the sky turn technicolor hues as the sun starts to rise from beyond the Atlas Mountains. A pretty perfect way to start the day - and there was nowhere better to catch it from than the Royal Suite @theoberoimarrakech. Thanks for the memories (and lots and lots of photos). + + + #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #traveling #morning #cntraveller #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #marrakech #marrakesh #atlasmountains #mountains #sunrise #sunset #morocco #hotellife #hotels #oberoi #oberoimarrakech #northafrica #nature
These are the types of greens I want with my breakfast: jungle fronds, rice stalks bursting from the ground and lushly leafed trees. House #8 there in the background was my abode at @salalodges in Siem Reap, a fantastic little stay just beyond the bustle of town, where bucolic grounds are dotted with traditional Khmer houses that double as hotel rooms. . . . #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #traveling #traveltheworld #ig_worldclub #cntraveller #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #takemeback #cambodia #siemreap #asia #khmer #jungle #angkorwat #angkor #breakfast #foodstagram #architecture #hotel
(1)Thinking... about where to travel to this summer. Leaning towards taking the train from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi in Vietnam. Love a bit of train travel. Or stick more to my feet and head to the Greek island of Andros which has walking paths aplenty? Decisions. (2) Whichever it is, it will be in my style mishmash of patterns, layers and insouciance. Have you boarded the train in Vietnam or hiked around Andros? Which would you go for? . . . #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #traveling #traveltheworld #cntraveller #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #sheisnotlost #dametraveller #wearetravelgirls #girlslovetravel #dametraveler #gogirlguides #femmetravel #thetravelwomen #france #train #traintravel #vietnam #andros #greece
