Our missed flight in February opened the door to enjoying three days in beautiful Essaouira, Morocco. As you can see from the photos below, this was a great stopover for us and well worth missing our flight so that we could eat delicious fresh fish at the port (110 dirham for two), drink fresh OJ (5 dirham each), ride horses on the beach (100 dirham each), and make new friends with a nice family we met and artisans in the Essaouira medina (free and priceless). As you can see, the baby had a great time too!

About Vago Damitio
Vago Damitio (@vagodamitio) is the Editor-in-Chief for Vagobond. He jumped ship from a sinking dotcom in 2000 and decided to reclaim his most valuable commodity, time. He bought a VW bus for $100, moved into it and set out on a journey to show the world that it was possible to live life on your own terms. That journey took him from waking up under icy blankets in the Pacific Northwest to waking up under palm tress in Southeast Asia. Three years later, his first book, Rough Living: Tips and Tales of a Vagabond was published. After diving into the Anthropology of Tourism and Electronic Anthropology at the University of Hawaii (with undeclared minors in film and surf) he hit the road again in 2008. Since that time,he's lived primarily in Morocco and Turkey, married a Moroccan girl he couchsurfed with, and become a proud father. He's been to more than 40 countries, founded a successful online travel magazine (this one!), and still doesn't have a boss. Life is good. You can also find him on Google+ and at Facebook
