Okay...   Let's start at the beginning. Who knows where Montana is? 

If you said that it's next to Idaho, below Canada and above Wyoming, you're correct! Has anyone been to Montana? It's a very big, beautiful and wild place. Even though I'm so proud to be from there, I've always known that I wanted to travel experience the world, in person, not just on T.V.! Is that a crazy idea? Have any of you lived in a different country outside of America, or were you born in a different country than America? Has anyone ever dreamed of going to Africa?  If you can believe it, from New York, I can fly to North Africa (Morocco) faster than I can fly to Montana!

I have actually wanted to come to Morocco since I was 16. And now, here I am. I am living in Morocco, near Fes; have your teacher show you this place on the map. I am in the heart of olive oil production lands, and I love olive oil, so much! Did you know that it is amazing for soft skin, and soft hair, too? I have been in Morocco for about a year and a half, working with the Peace Corps as a volunteer helping youth like you. We are here as agents of peace and friendship. So simple. 

I came with a group of 50 other Americans, from all over the country, even from N.Y.C.
