Traveler Bio

Hi, I'm Raquel! I'm from Wellesley, MA. I live in Morocco and will be sharing my experiences with you over the next few months! I graduated college last year with a degree in linguistics. I love to study languages. My love of languages is part of what took me to Morocco, where people speak multiple languages on a daily basis!

Here in Morocco, I am studying Arabic and French, but my main job is teaching English. I teach at the local university to more than 500 students! It can be a lot of work, but it is also a lot of fun. I live in Tetouan, Morocco, in the north of the country. I know that Tetouan sounds like the name of a planet in Star Wars, but it is actually a small city right at the foot of the Rif mountains and on the Mediterranean Sea. It is a really beautiful place to live and explore.

I'm excited to take this digital exchange journey with you. Morocco is a very diverse and fascinating place to live. I can't wait to share my experiences and hear your own ideas and perspectives about culture and travel.
