My new life

Here I am. Finally in Morocco. Still finding it hard to believe.

It already seems like a such long time since I left Finland a week ago. Leaving is always hard but once you leave, you are filled with excitement about new adventures yet unexperienced. I had no idea what was waiting for me out in the world and I guess that was the best part. I was ready to go.

First, I did a little tour in Europe and went to Brussels and Paris to see some very dear people to me. Thank you for those days that I will not forget. My final destination was approaching and when the plane left Paris, my feelings were very quite mixed. This is it, I thought. There was no turning back anymore.

So, I arrived here three days ago and I'm already starting to feel at home. I guess it's because of the hospitality and friendliness of this people. Everyone is really helpful and want to make me feel at home. For the moment, I'm staying with another Finnish girl Laura who has been here for 4 months already. I must say that I'm really happy about Laura being here and helping me with everything. She sure has been really courageus to come here all by herself not knowing anyone. Now we are looking for a bigger apartement together as I think it's better for both of us to live together, and cheaper as well.

So far only problem is with my studies since almost all the classes are in Arabic. Well, I'm trying to take some Arabic, French and Spanish classes.Maybe I could also go to attend some courses in another town close to Tanger where the university's another department is but that's not for sure yet. Well, most of all, I'm considering this as a cultural experience, which will teach me so many things about life that I wouldn't never learn by attending courses at the university.

So, this is the beginning of my new life. Leaving the past behind. Focusing on the present moment. Not worrying about the future. Just letting life bring me whatever it has planned for me.
