Come with us to Marrakech with a shopping expert. When Melburnian Angela Mellak got lost in the 10th-century medina of Marrakech years ago, she found… a husband!

Fast forward a decade, and the Moroccan-Australian duo are now the owners of Riad Botanica, a classic five-room riad. The boutique hotel was awarded a Michelin Key and has been recommended by such travel luminaries as Conde Nast.

My guest on The World Awaits podcast this week, Angela joins us to chat about life in the medina and the changing face of travel in Marrakech. 
​
One of the reasons for their success is Angela’s (not so) little book of local experiences for guests within Marrakech and beyond. Join Angela as she walks us through her favourite places in the wondrous city she now calls home, with restaurants, shopping tips, bars and experiential masterclasses, see riadbotanica.com
