It is absolutely the most beautiful and breathtaking experience I have ever had. My whole life has been changed because I am being exposed to such beauty that it motivates me to return to UD and be the best I can be so that I can make this my home. I would love to live here and in Tanger specifically. It is incredible, right on the Mediterranean Sea.
My ideas of cultures have been changed completely. For example, I had a stereotype in my head about women who wear the hijabs wrapped around there heads and faces because of Hollywood movies, news, and being uneducated on the religion. However, from being here for only four days, I think the veils are beautiful and I love them because mostly every woman wears them here and I’m so used to seeing them now and from talking with them, it is a religious preference and it is by choice. They are gorgeous scarves.
