Pages : 54
Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had a hard time adjusting to the fact that I didn’t know what was going on in a country I was exploring. It reminded me of how I used to get frustrated with myself when I couldn’t understand what a foreigner had just said in a restaurant. #2 We were driving from Chefchaouen to Fes, and Rida told us about the time he met Brad Pitt in a local market. #3 We visited Morocco, and while the food was good, the experience as a whole was not what I expected.
