Julius Honnor is a travel writer and photographer based in London. He has written and updated several books for Footprint, including Footprint’s Bolivia and various bits of Italy. He first visited Morocco in the early 1990s. Having grown up on the edge of Dartmoor, he was initially attracted by its big open spaces; he now finds Morocco’s narrow winding streets equally intriguing. More from Julius at juliushonnor.com.
