I’ve lived in Morocco for one year now and wanted to share a few things I’ve learned along the way:
1 – Moroccans have this amazing ability to fill every open space beyond normal capacity
2 – I’m learning day by day to let go of anxiety knowing everything will work out
3 – I’ve learned to sit and do absolutely nothing for hours at a café, at my house, at someone else’s house, waiting for a taxi, being in a taxi/bus/train, etc
4 – Donkeys are the most pathetic miserable animals ever
5 – I’m terrified of preteen boys, especially when they are moving in packs
6 – Sleeping under the stars in relaxing – but doesn’t mean I want to start camping
7 – Cement houses in the south are a bazillion times hotter than traditional mud houses
8 – I now fully understand that this is the ‘cold land with the hot sun’
9 – The generosity and hospitality of Moroccans is overwhelming and awesome
10 – Stepping outside your own box can be extremely difficult when you struggle with the language and being an introvert
11 – I used to be an extremely independent individual
12 – Moroccans are not shy about their curiosity
Hope you’ve enjoyed a little insight in to my day to day living in Morocco! Looking forward to what I’ll learn the next 15 months.
