Just another weekend in Morocco… With almost 10 y

Just another weekend in Morocco…

With almost 10 years visiting, living in and out of Morocco, the local surf coast has become a second home. Actively witnessing the rapid development and expansion of the surf economy here has been interesting.
From my first visit to Imsoaune with a local Moroccan surfer and surfing uncrowded, almost empty, beautiful waves,to now grabbing the surf shuttle and avoiding the crowds. It is both a blessing and a curse. While the vibe and beauty remains there are more like minded people to share it with.

Stayed tuned for latest blog for my longtime favourites and hotspots in Imsouane, Morocco.

Do you miss the old Imsouane or embracing the new Imsoaune? Take the poll to share.

Surfing & kitesurfing are dangerous sports, here a $Surfing & kitesurfing are dangerous sports, here a few tips for better success and avoiding injuries. 1. TAKE LESSONS!!! Professional instructors teach you safety, etiquette, correct techniques and procedures. They give you years of experience and training to prevent unnecessary injury. 2. Know your limits. Be realistic. Cockiness and carelessness are two sure ways to hurt yourself. 3. Conditions can mean a fun session or a dangerous one. Check with professionals and local schools before renting on your own. Again, a lesson has more value and less costly than a trip to the emergency or private clinic not to mention increased medical insurance or worse. 4. Avoid going when you are tired, hungry or low energy. Fatigue can cause poor judgment and delayed reaction. 5. Stay well hydrated and fueled up with healthy high protein clean light meals a hour or so before your session to avoid fatigue mid session. 6. Rest and recovery before and after your surf or kite session, paddling with sore muscles will get you nowhere. Stretch and warm up before entering the water so muscles and joints are less stiff. Stretch afterwards or treat yourself to a massage if you have a long or hard session (this allows you to be ready for another day and maximize your surf or kite trip. 7. Train during off season or longer periods out of the water. Mobility and strength training are key to maintain your surf or kite level and towards progression. As an experienced surfer and kitesurfer (not good but experienced beginner because we are always learning and progressing), I have learned the hard way through injuries including a fractured nose, torn ligaments and a nasty black eye that there is more than just trial and error. The days I think I’m independent and get cocky are the days I make the stupidest mistakes and hurt myself. Stay tuned for more details and tips on the blog along with kite and surf school recommendations! Stay safe out there and catch more waves than bruises! #surfinjuries #kitesurflessons #surflife #kitesurftips #surflessons$

It has been almost a month since I went surfing, c

It has been almost a month since I went surfing, clients are signing on and busy with work for other people finally again. After taking a pause for some perfect conditions to go kiting, I made a stupid mistake launching my kite. I fell and hit my face on the bar as a result. Failure to launch (quite literally) I cried in front on the guys on the beach but mostly out of embarrassment. I felt stupid after years of lessons and injuries I messed up the simplest things (there was also a bit of shock there as my face swelled up instantly.)

But even though I am struggling to meet my minimum budget and feel the self doubt creep in, I keep trying. Keep dusting myself off and going again despite how embarrassing it is. I mean rationally maybe I should stop kiting after two torn ligaments, face and ankle injury. 😂 Grateful that’s the worst of it.

Everyday I make my bed, read a bit of new information, see the current events and start my day. Step by step learning what I don’t know. It’s stopping to evaluate moving forward in a safe way.

To me, success is not always defined by financial wealth or fame or whatever else. I think success is learning and evolution. Failure is dying out refusing to learn from mistakes and stop trying. Failure to launch (pun intended.)

Evolution is survival.

Success requires grit, perseverance and determination when things aren’t going well and saying f**k it but not throwing in the towel but going ahead with the new experience and knowledge to learn from to improve the next time around.

Tonight I shared international women’s day with a girlfriend at Mifan in Essaouira’s Old Medina.

Welcomed with roses and an intimate ambience.

We indulged and shared a taste of a few plates, with healthy drinks and finish with a sweet but not rich pistachio cheesecake and coffee.

The decor and welcoming staff created the perfect inviting atmosphere.

Have you booked your table yet?

Finally got over to work @rimal_network and I wish I went sooner!

Perhaps due to Ramadan but it was so quiet and peaceful making it easy to focus, met some other locals and the friendly warm atmosphere is perfect for networking and meeting like minded people. I love that you can pay for the time you are there and no required to order food or drinks which can get expensive as you hang around other cafes. Also, as a veteran remote workers, I don’t like when cafes are packed for of working people and no where to enjoy the actual cafe.

So it was perfect to find a spot to work without disturbing anyone else while still enjoying the ambience.

Huge recommendation for the remote workers or digital nomads looking for a professional coworking space. They offer individual rooms, abundant outlets and great coffee! Still haven’t tried the food yet!

Located across from the forest near Carrefour.

My new favourite florist in Essaouira! Discovere

My new favourite florist in Essaouira!

Discovered @artetvegetal while passing by one day, immediately falling in love with the energy and beauty of the flower shop. The owner is sweet and welcoming, she created a cute little dried bouquet I needed for a photoshoot. Affordable and timeless.

I love dried flowers for the touch of decor, perfect for a minimalist home or countryside villa. No need to water and lasts while easily updated for seasonal occasions or fresh colour accent. Also, she has beautiful in pot plants and flowers for sustainable eco friendly alternative to fresh flowers. (Although the fresh are gorgeous!) Plan ahead by ordering your flowers in advance!

Located on Ave. Casablanca just around the corner from CTM bus station. Perfect gift for a dinner invite or special moment. The beauty of this shop and bouquets are enough to win anyone’s heart. ♥️
