Running out of pics to post while your friends are traveling everywhere taking pictures of famous attractions all over the world?
Here are a few spots we think might convince you that you don’t need to travel all the way to the other side of the world, to get a good photo that convinces other people of your wanderlust.
1. Astaka Morocco, Putrajaya (Morocco)
Just a drive away from the hustle and bustle of KL, Astaka Morocco is slowly becoming one of the hottest spots where photographers capture intricate zillege tilings and Arabesque décor, and where Instagrammers flaunt their beautiful long summer-dresses as they flow in the wind, whilst being transported to a Moroccan Wonderland.
