(guest post) running in heels

Today, I am very lucky to have the lovely Emily from Running in Heels standing in for me whilst I'm en route to Santa Barbara for a long weekend and her post is definitely making me want to book flights to Morocco straight away! Take it away Emily...

Hey everyone! I'm Emily, from Running in Heels. It's so nice to meet you all:) When Samantha asked me to guest post about my dream trip, I was super excited. Travelling is one of my very favorite things in the world. I'm constantly dreaming up trips I want to take, and buying every book I can to make-believe plan.

Although I am in love with cities like Paris, Vienna, and London probably more than any person in this world, today I wanted to post about trip that's a bit more exotic for fellow adventurers out there.

Marrakech, Morocco. 

For some reason, Morocco has been on my mind as a dream destination for a couple of years now. I can just imagine wandering through the spice markets and shops during the day, and exploring beautiful sites such as the Koutoubia Minaret and the Djema El-Fna (Lonely Planet says it has snake charmers, henna, astrologers, acrobats, and storytellers!) at night. Since we are dreaming, I would go ahead and stay at the Royal Mansour hotel (above), an actual Moroccan palace hotel, complete with a courtyard, fountain roof terrace and a personal butler. 

Just looking at these pictures makes me want to pack up and go!

Marrakech has so much more to offer that I'm sure I haven't even heard about yet, I guess I'm just going to have to go check it out myself and report back to you all:)

What do you think, is Morocco as sexy and intriguing to you as it is to me? Would you go somewhere exotic and different if you had the chance? My suitcase is calling me for a trip out of town sometime in the near future. 

Thanks so much to Samantha for letting me share my wanderlust today! I hope you are all inspired to hop on a plane to wherever it is that is calling you. 

xo.
