Favorite places I've been: Kathmandu, Rajasthan, Columbo, Cape Town, Dakar, Saigon, Aswan, and of course my new home town of Marrakech
Places I want to go to: Several Indonesian islands, Madagascar. In the next few months I am traveling to Nairobi, Bamako, and Cairo
About me: I'm a democracy and human rights specialist. (If anyone knows what that means, please let me know so I can finally explain it to my mother.)
I write the blog My Marrakesh (
www.moroccanmaryam.typepad.com), which was a finalist in the 2007 Annual Weblog Awards for best blog in Africa or the Middle East. I'm also the Lifestyle Editor of Last Exit magazine, where I write about Morocco-based shopping, design, restaurants and spas, as well as other wowza experiences around town.
And I'm a freelance writer.
In my spare time, I love traveling to far flung places, spending time with friends in our rug-filled Berber tent, and shopping for the interiors of our soon-to-be Marrakesh guest house, The Persian Garden.
