Sally Kirby is a writer and yoga teacher based in Taghazout, Morocco. She leads a simple life at home in Morocco’s surfing capital but recently felt ready for a road-trip adventure and some city vibes. Accompanied by a friend who was visiting from the UK, they drove up the coast to Essaouira, excited to introduce her to some favorite experiences in the city – and discover new ones together.
