The winds of Essaouira
Essaouira feels different than many other towns in Morocco. The usual smells are mixed up with a fresh ocean breeze and the layout is less chaotic with streets in a straight line. The ruckus of Marrakesh is only a distant memory.
A sip of coffee in Marrakesh
I’m in the busy town of Marrakech, Morocco. Around here they drink ridiculous amounts of green tea with tons of sugar, but the country is also renowned for their strong, black coffee.

I noticed several people riding red bikes in Barcelona recently. So far this year over 100 bike stations has been constructed in the city, strategically located near metro and bus stations.
