Why do you love travelling?
I have always wanted to see the world. Travelling makes me feel liberated, free, I love to experience various cultures and I learn something different from every trip e.g language, food, and history. I also love to explore beauty and skincare unique to different countries.
Why did you pick Marrakesh?
Whats not to love about Marrakesh? I picked Marrakesh because I was yet to understand how beautiful a place could look from photos [online] and wanted to experience it for myself.
Airport Chic
The worst mistake I ever made was travelling in Denim (jeans) and after that day I swore never to travel in tight clothing. I usually go with something comfy most likely cotton or lycra. Black is such a perfect colour to travel in, it helps hide dirt and if I spill anything on myself I am covered. I always carry a sweatshirt or hoodie and socks too and oh yes a pair of comfortable sneakers.
Chic, Classy & Cool
Fey Kamson [of FNP Travel] told us it was really hot during the day and cold at night but I didn’t pay that much attention to that so I packed strictly Summer fashion (which I regretted). But yes, I had a theme and for someone like me who wears mainly black and white or neutral colours, I had to step outside my comfort zone.
I also packed according to the unique vibe of the cities we visited. For instance in Marrakesh, I wore loads of white and creams because the entire city is red/coral in colour, In Chefcheoun (The Blue City) I packed white and yellow [outfits] because yellow goes well with blue.
