Day 1: The Start of the Journey
Hello, and welcome! This is a limited-series blog with a specific purpose, which is to document my journey through Morocco and attempts to practice my French there during the post-COVID summer of 2021. When I am not gallivanting around the world, I am based in South Florida as a high school Mandarin Chinese teacher. This summer, I am traveling to Morocco through GEEO , a non-profit organization dedicated to helping teachers travel by planning affordable international tours. Morocco has intrigued me for several years now because of its location at the crossroads of three continents, and it was one of GEEO's cheapest programs, so the choice felt like a no-brainer to me. This is my first trip by organized tour, which will in itself be interesting. It also means that this blog in one sense serves as free advertising for GEEO's Morocco itinerary, which you can find here . This will also be my first trip to the Arab world and my first trip to Africa--so, lots of firsts.
