nomad travel workshops in marrakech
An adventurous way to explore Marrakech.
The 'Nomad' travel workshops are a perfect way to discover the city of Marrakech and it's surroundings in an alternitive way.
In May and October we will organize two different workshops;
The well known Cool Crochet workshops for the 7th and 8th edition.
The Green Gardens workshops are new this year and we will show you the abundant green side of Marrakech during your stay in the Red City.
A lot of former participants enjoyed this way to travel 'alone' to Marrakech and discover the unknown with a group of International women.
For some women it's a huge adventure to travel to Nothern Africa by themselves and this is a perfect opportunity to face this adventure.
We have a few places available for adventurous women.
Below you can find more information about the nomad workshops.

vase d'amour
Vase d'avril, but i call it vase d'amour for the occasion.
Last week in Paris, Henk surprised me with a very special wedding anniversary gift.
We visited the shop of Tsé & Tsé Associés in Paris and while i was looking around upstairs in the amazing shop, Henk bought my favorite vase.
It was an amazing surprise!
I've been working with the Vase d'Avril for almost ten years now, during my flowerdays at Villa Augustus.
During the years I've sold a lot of vases in the market shop and told the happy new owners it's a great investment, because you can create a tiny flowerfield with just a few flowers.
This morning I bought some tulips at the flowershop, where my daughter Pippa is working and she choose those pretty pastel pink tulips for me.
I think it looks amazing on the small table in our kitchen and I'm very happy with it. So precious!
