2 Days in Marrakech

December 21, 2017January 24, 2018 ~ Cherise and Shine ~ 3 Comments

At long last, we’ve made it to the continent of Africa!! Marrakech has LONG been on my travel bucket list, and I’m so grateful that my hubby and I were able to make it here over American Thanksgiving. ❤ Pro tip for my fellow Americans: International travel during our Thanksgiving domestic holiday is MUCH cheaper … Continue reading 2 Days in Marrakech

Of all the sunsets, all the delicious food, all the beautiful architecture and all the vastly stunning landscapes, you're still my greatest adventure yet. 🖤 . Happy Thursday, everyone!! And happy first day of summer! I am SOOOO EXCITED because tomorrow @mikethepsyche and I leave for Australia!!! My family has already taken off ahead of us, so I've been stalking their Sydney pics and filled with excited anticipation. 😍🙈🙌❤️ . DM me if you have any recommendations for Sydney, Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Cairns, Port Douglas or Perth! It's a lot to cram into 10 days, but we want to see as much as humanly possible in our time down under! 🇦🇺 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #lamamounia #lamamouniamarrakech #marrakech #marrakesh #travelcouples #couplegoals #wanderlust #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #stayandwander #welltravelled #wearetravelgirls #ourplanetdaily #roamtheplanet #discoverglobe #igworldclub #simplymorocco #livetoexplore #theimaged #traveltagged #tlpicks #wanderwithme #sidewalkerdaily #darlingescapes #todolistguide #mydearmorocco #igersmorocco #wonderlustmorocco #nomadgirls

Entering into a cave of wonders . As strange as it might sound, wandering the souks at night in Marrakech reminded me so much of night markets in Shanghai, Taiwan and Hong Kong. In general, Marrakech reminded me more of Asia than I thought it would, and made me feel at home in a very unique way. . I adore night markets. There's something about the bustling streets, the captivating sights, the delicious street food smells, the vivid colors and lights (and more than occasional motorcycle zooming by). It can be an overwhelming assault on the senses, but it can also be a wonderful thing. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #beautifuldestinations #globetrotter #marrakech #nomadlife #youmustsee #iamtb #postcardplaces #blondesandcookies #beautifulmatters #todolistguide #tlpicks #gltlove #femmetravel #globelletrotters #shetravels #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #mydearmorocco #wonderlustmorocco #ilovemorocco #visitmorocco #simplymorocco #travelmorocco #igersmorocco #teamkaptainkenny #thatsdarling #souks

Twirling in front of a beautiful golden door while dreaming of coffee. Because even though Moroccan mint tea is the tastiest things ever, only one particular caffeinated beverage has my heart. ☺️☕️🍃 . Is there a particular food or drink that, no matter where you travel, you'll go out of your way to find? For me, it's always coffee. We stumbled upon one of only three Starbucks locations in Morocco thanks to my obsession! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #darlingescapes #sheisnotlost #beautifuldestinations #wanderwithme #globetrotters #gltlove #nomadgirls #teamkaptainkenny #sidewalkerdaily #simplymorocco #mydearmorocco #wonderlustmorocco #thetravelwomen #todolistguide #femmetravel #globelletravels #shetravelz #dametraveler #visitmorocco #igersmorocco #ilovemorocco #fez #fes #DaralMakhzen #royalpalace #ihavethisthingwithdoors #lovelulus #contest

Heads up: Pondering about trying on traditional clothing ahead! . Donning clothing from a local culture is both an honor and a responsibility. I’m always a little hesitant to put on indigenous garments unless the locals we are with encourage it, as I don’t want to seem disrespectful or misappropriate their culture. . In this instance, we were driving through the desert with our guide and he stopped at this local shop boasting a variety of Berber clothing. The ladies inside greeted us with smiles and asked if we’d like to try on some clothing. They were incredibly kind and picked out colors for us, mentioning how we almost looked like locals ourselves. This was an experience to remember, and I hope we didn’t offend anybody by donning these dresses. . I think there’s a difference between wearing a traditional garment as a costume for Halloween, and traveling to a country and trying to learn more about the culture. But I know that everyone has their own opinion on the what’s appropriate and what’s not. I am excited for my non-Japanese friends when they try on kimonos, but also feel a tinge of discomfort when people wear kimonos and then pose with prayer hands and make jokes about putting chopsticks in their hair. . I’m curious, do you try on local clothing when you travel? And when people from other countries come to yours, are you okay with them trying on your traditional outfits? Discuss (nicely) below! 🙈

Happy Hump Day! Even though it looks like I’m constantly exploring the world, I‘ll let you in on a little secret—we haven't actually done an international trip since Morocco in November! I'm counting down the days (less than 10, omg!!) until I leave for Australia with my favorite travel (and real life) partner. ❤️❤️❤️ . Do you guys prefer to travel alone, with friends, with family or with a significant other? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #oneloveourlove #travelcouples #travelust #theglobewanderer #wonderful_places #beautifuldestinations #stayandwander #timeoutsociety #welltravelled #theimaged #tlpicks #passionpassport #igworldclub #simplymorocco #mydearmorocco #sidewalkerdaily #cntraveler #exploretocreate #speechlessplaces #igmorocco #travelmorocco #travelstoke #igersmorocco #lamamounia #lamamouniamarrakech #riad #luxuryhotelsworld #teamkaptainkenny #worldtodolist #letsgoeverywhere

When a door closes, stop and admire the details you didn't notice when it was open. 🚪 . Dar al-Makhzen in Fes may not be open to the public, but the intricate golden doors at the royal palace’s entrance are beautiful enough to stare at all day! . Do you have a favorite door? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #beautifuldestinations #mydearmorocco #simplymorocco #moroccobyyou #ladiesgoneglobal #wearetravelgirls #travelinladies #nomadgirls #fes #fez #travelmore #ihavethisthingwithdoors #backpackwithme #zelij #morocconow #sheisnotlost #wanderluster #girlstraveltale #iamtb #traveltagged #teamkaptainkenny #ilovemorocco #postcardplaces #dametraveler #flyawaywithme #todolistguide #gltlove
