Oriveto, Italy I don’t know about you, but I love to post my travels online in as close to real-time as possible. I do it for several reasons – to let my readers experience the place as it happens, to allow my friends and family to know where I am at, to connect with...

(Chefchaouen, Morocco) We all have great intentions when it comes to wanting to save $$ for something…including crossing out destinations we want to visit on our Travel Bucketlist! I’m no brainiac..but I have done some reading, some trying and have come up and...

Between Ouarzazate and Boulmane du Dadès in the High Atlas Mountains lies the Dadès Valley which covers 125 km of Morocco. It’s truly surreal to see when you come out of desert and suddenly see the plush greenery that the river and gorges has lined with. Known as “the...

You can smell it several shops away…this yumminess of scents from fruity, to musks, to florals. Kind of like when you know there is a LUSH store in the mall ahead somewhere – you can smell it in advance! La Botica de la Abuela Aladdin doesn’t have a website, but it really...

One of the things I notice when I travel is that the best way to REALLY get the feel of a place is to visit their local market. It is here that you will see the locals, see the produce they are selling and see how real life is among the place you are in. It was no different...
