Morocco is a country I wanted to visit without fully understanding why at first. I believe the imprint was formed in childhood, when my mom watched soap operas filled with sultans and harems, narrow streets draped with bright rugs and fabrics, and beautiful courtyards with pools and plants. I’ve been drawn to the idea of non-traditional families, harems felt intriguing to me in that symbolic sense. The beauty of the palaces enchanted me.
The Morocco I encountered on this trip, however, was challenging and hectic—almost the complete opposite of what I’m usually attracted to. Dirty streets, thousands of merchant shops, hundreds of people, bikes, and donkeys moving through narrow streets packed with stalls. The medina—the oldest part of the city, both in Fez and in Marrakech—is a vast, ancient bazaar with Fez being more aggressive. If you like shopping, it might be a good place for you. For me, it was overwhelming. Though, I was curious to try haggling. In Morocco they call it negotiation. Let’s be honest though only by calling something ugly using the more intricate word doesn’t make it better.
If I were asked to draw my meeting with this country, I would sketch circles within circles—layers of obstacles you have to pass through before you can dive deeper. The first circle is the constant, chaotic movement of people, bicycles, donkeys, and carts. It creates such a rush that it’s hard to look around; you have to stay alert just to avoid being hit. You can’t walk slowly enjoying yourself and the architecture around. Everything tells you to rush and buy whether you need it or not.

One and a half hours of love.

That’s how it felt texting with you. Your prompt response—so unexpected —sent me soaring. My smile grew wide, my eyes sparkled, my whole body felt effervescent. I was hanging on to every word you wrote, especially to the ones where you said you were thinking of me.
Reading you, I couldn’t stand still. I wasn’t able to concentrate. The thought of you thinking about me filled my entire being. And then you said LOVE—yes, capitalized. It was more than I could bear. I lost my senses, drifting into a fantasy world where only two exist: you and I.
When we finished, I went back and reread it several times, reliving those feelings again and again until the glass was drained. I checked the time—from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., an hour and a half of love written back and forth.

Reflection on travelling and transformation it brings

I’ve traveled a lot and have personally experienced — and still sometimes experience — cross-cultural transitions. I strongly believe that traveling is an essential part of human growth. We often think that the reality of our own country is the only reality, and the only correct one. However, our genuine inner wishes may sometimes contradict cultural norms — and that’s when inner conflict arises. Traveling, though, helps us realize that other countries can be much more open and consider normal what might be forbidden in our own culture. I’m also convinced that while traveling, one can achieve a sense of harmony and balance.
But traveling isn’t only about seeing new places — it’s about how you travel. In Rome, do as the Romans do: go to the places where locals hang out, meet people who can show you around, and read about the history of the place you’re visiting. Most importantly, leave criticism behind, no matter how different something may be from what you’re used to. That’s when true discovery happens.

One of the most valuable skills today is slowing down and listening to yourself. What is it that I truly want? Maybe not to leave so quickly, but to stay longer—to enjoy the sun and water, to practice yoga on the beach.

Lesson in a process of learning…
It’s very important to be self-sufficient. We often call our partners “my other half” yet true wholeness comes from within. It’s tempting to lean on a partner for what we feel we lack- perhaps their ability to enjoy life with ease, their financial stability, or the comfort of their soulful conversation.
But then, as soon as our “other half” turns towards something apart from us we feel upset—we start missing those energies, because we don’t have them ourselves.
That’s why it’s so important to notice in advance what it is we draw from our partner, and to develop those qualities within. It’s much more harmonic when you are two self-sufficient individuals in union, rather than two halves clinging together.
Were I only a “half,” I would never have witnessed this divine waterfalls- because my other half was not beside me.

Not Every “Thank You” Needs a “You’re Welcome” 🤗

When I worked in customer service, we had a training where we were taught that responses like “absolutely” or “no problem” to a “thank you” aren’t ideal. The reasoning made a lot of sense: answering that way can unintentionally place you in a position of superiority—as if the other person was asking for a favor and you’re granting it.

That idea stuck with me, especially when it comes to compliments.

When someone thanks you for a compliment, do you really need to say “you’re welcome”? I don’t think so.

A compliment isn’t a favor. It’s not something you do for someone—it’s something you feel and choose to express. It comes from the heart, not out of obligation.

To me, “you’re welcome” makes more sense after an actual favor—when you’ve helped someone in some way—not when you’ve simply shared admiration or warmth.

Sometimes a smile, a “I meant it,” or even a pause feels more sincere and human than a scripted response. Not every beautiful exchange needs to be treated like a transaction.
