I had the pleasure of spending 4 weeks in Morocco for a study abroad program through my College. The majority of time I spent in Rabat with a host family.

The trip was quite the experience as we were taking a class on class, gender and culture in Morocco. We also learned Arabic and a bit of the national vernacular.
