A naive Backpacking Trip through the World of the Berbers
Since I was quite young, I dreamed of traveling the world and getting to know faraway countries. Being young, I haven’t had many opportunities yet. I’m finally old enough to set off on my own and see the world.
I’m fortunate enough to be able to spend a semester abroad in Spain. At the end of this time, I’d like to take the opportunity to visit nearby Morocco—and thus experience a whole new continent and a completely different culture—the Berbers!
