My name is Zeinah and I'm from California, near Los Angeles. It was always my dream to go to Morocco perhaps thanks to my father, who comes from Beirut, Lebanon. We always looked at the pictures of architecture and Moroccan aesthetics with wonder, and there was always a deep connection of the Arab world for me. In the United States I know that I am far from Lebanon and other Arab countries, but also with my Arabic name, I feel a line between me and this beautiful culture. So I went to Morocco with my girlfriend, Bailey, and it was a magical trip. In addition to the magnificent architecture in the medina, we met the people who welcomed us throughout our trip. Once I was buying the fruit at the market in Chefchaoen, and ordered it very specific so I can have the right bananas. And there was a woman who smiled and patted me on the back and said something in Arabic. We laughed together and shared a moment together, even though we had different ages and cultures. I love people and Moroccan culture. It was really magical.
