Home Sweet Home


I am sitting here in my new host family’s house in my fanfreakingtasic new town!! I am as of today the newest member of Taourirt, Morocco. I am in Northeast part of the country. I am about 2 hours or so from the Mediterranean and about the same distance to Algeria!! There are not many of us out this way but the people from my Staj(group I came to Morocco with) and the other volunteers here seem really awesome! I have a site mate who has been helping me a ton with the logistics of Taourirt. There are somewhere near 45,000 people who live here. SO far everyone Is great they all have welcomed me! I have even gotten a few ( “You look just like Adele’s”) My host sister makes custom traditional Morocco dresses and I believe she is making me one now!!! I have two host brothers and one is a NINJA!! Say whatttttt?!?!?! He is a full contact Thai Boxer and he is going to take me to the gym to check out the classes! The summer will be slow here as most of the Dar Chababs and other such places close. I will spend the summer with a Darija Tutor and planning workshops, projects, classes and activites. I really want to start the new school year with tons of stuff in the bank… then if I don’t use them at least I tried! So I don’t have too much to say now. My CBT (in Ras Elma) Was amazing and I am sure Taourirt will be too!! I have also listed my address below, this is it for the next 2 years so… IF you have been asking about care packages send away! I would really love letters too!! I have also listed a few things from America I would really love but mostly letters and pictures would be cool!
MIss you All like Crazy Have a fun Summer!!!! I hate I am missing everything!!
