Having wanted to visit Morocco since a little girl, I was extremely happy setting foot in Marrakech. The city isn’t called the Red City for nothing. There’s so much to do and see within the city’s pink walls. This time we decided to visit almost every museum and landmark possible. I checked off a lot from my itinerary but there’s still much to check off. However, I’m especially thankful for having visited Musée Yves Saint Laurent only a month after it’s opening.

I was lucky enough to have this dream become a reality and even luckier I will be when I go for a second time.
