    For the fourth episode of Why Morocco, my friend Willem Smit and I sat on the sofa of my apartment mansion and chatted about some of our favourite things – good design, good books, Marrakech and architecture. Willem is the managing director of El Fenn and also has the fabulous Villa Mabrouka near Essaouira you’ll want to book if you’re a fan of holidaying in beautiful spaces.

      • Why Morocco 002 – Sophia Bentaher and Annabel Atger on when to quit

        What happens when you have a fabulous idea and come to Morocco hot off a research trip around Europe ready to set up shop? On the second episode of Why Morocco I’m chatting with Sophia Bentaher and Annabel Atger about their plans to open a social café in Marrakech, what happens when things don’t go as intended, and how we define success. Because quitting is definitely not failing.
