If I asked you to name the city that has the most expensive room service in the world, what would you say? New York? Tokyo? London? Those answers are all wrong. WRONG, I TELL YOU! Didn’t you say you were a room service major in college? Apparently not. Luckily, the fine folks at Hotels.com just…
Last November, I visited Morocco for the first time. I found myself up to my ears in olives and tagines and enthralled with the chaos of the local souks (markets/bazaars) I visited. To check out my Morocco coverage from the trip, head over here. Now that the trip has been over for months, all I…
BREAKING: I just got off the phone with an American Airlines spokesperson (who I won’t name for fear of losing his/her job at divulging advance information) and there is a development so delicious coming down the pipeline that you will most likely cancel all existing reservations and rebook your travel plans exclusively with American from…
Are you ready to say goodbye to Morocco? No? I wasn’t either, but here we are. Friends, we’ve come to the last photo tour of my trip to Morocco (thanks to the wonderful Pompeian Olive Oil company). If you’d like to recap the first three days of my trip, please do so: Photo Tour: Morocco…
What’s it like to attend a dinner party in the home of rich Moroccans? It’s a question we all ask ourselves constantly. “Do they eat out of golden tagines?” “Do they eat coucous made of gold?” “Why am I so obsessed with asking gold-related questions right now?” These are the important questions that come up when…

Maybe this will jog your memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2pt2-F2j2g Why am I sharing lyrics from movies made in the early ’70s? Because that’s how I felt when…
I’ve been trying to publish this since Monday, but the internet wasn’t kind to me in Morocco so you’ll have to excuse the tardiness (and lack of posting — AGAIN). I just got back from Morocco in the wee hours of the morning and I have so much to share with you! Flights on Royal…
When you’re traveling abroad, street markets can seem like terrifying places, especially when you don’t speak the language. The good news? There’s only one language you need to know and that’s the language of cash. I’ve been traveling through Morocco this week and despite the fact that I don’t speak French or Arabic, I was…
Dear Friends. I’m about to embark upon my first trip to Africa. Tomorrow, I’ll leave Los Angeles and find myself in Morocco by the end of the weekend. This is one of the first times I’ve gone to a destination where I have no idea what to expect. That’s why I’m calling on you, the…
