Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Jenny's got back from the trip of a lifetime.
I'll never go to Morocco. I might go to Disney
World look In or New York City. Morocco not on
my Bingo card. So how was Morocco?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It was great. I mean, it's a beautiful country. It
has like so many different landscapes, mountains, you know, coastal cities,
all that good stuff. And I do want to talk
about like some of the fun things, but I also
want to tell you guys some of the mishaps that
happened along the way, because there were a few sketchy
situations that I got put in because I'm an idiot.
First off, I lost my passport at one point.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
No yep.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I was at this one touristy garden thing and I
had pulled some things out of my purse, including my passport,
when I was sitting down to get a lipstick out,
and I somehow left my passport sitting there. And so
I'm meandering around taking photos, pictures when this woman frantically
comes up to me in a different language, but I
could understand she was saying passport and then she's like,
(00:58):
did you lose it? And I was like, what because
then my person go, oh, yeah, it's not in here,
and she's like, okay, go to the front. And so
I lost my passport for like I don't know, thirty minutes.
I got it back. Wouldn't have known had that woman
not like come up to me. I mean, thankfully you're
the one tall blonde woman. Yeah, I did stand out
a little bit. And then I genuinely thought I was
(01:20):
like getting detained at an airport. At one point. I
didn't know what was going on because in the northern
part of the country, they spoke English pretty much in
like the main cities, but in the northern part. I
was in one city where they more so spoke Arabic
out at an Arabic language or Spanish, and so they're
trying to like tell me I get through to go
(01:40):
in this little small airport, and I would just like
want to go to the next point where you're sitting
down waiting for the plane. You know, I already did
the check in part, and they're like, you're going to Marrakesh,
and I go yeah. They're like Marrakesh, I go yeah,
And then they like start passing my passport around to
like three different police officers, you know, and I'm like,
what's happening. Then the one guy's like, come with me,
and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Oh no, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
They're like holding up the picture making sure it's you
and let me tell you stress because I had downloaded
this app called in drive, which is like their version
of Uber. But then I found out that it's illegal
there it's not yes, And so I was trying to
get a ride to the airport that day through in
Drive and my driver goes, hey, I've had a few
friends pulled over today and now they got their license revoked, Like,
(02:24):
don't do in drive today because the cops are out
looking for in drive drivers. Why is that illegal? Because
it takes away from the taxi system that they have
there and stuff, So taxi drivers are like reporting the drivers.
So I'm sitting there, I was like, am I getting
in trouble because I downloaded that app? And but really
the reality was I was way too early to that flight,
and that airport was so small that they didn't want
(02:46):
to let me through the part to sit. But I
couldn't understand what they were saying because they were they
most of them didn't really know English that they go
out here, and and they said wait, wait for four,
and they kept saying wait for four, so I thought
they said met and like wait for four minutes, and
I was like, then, what what happens? After four minutes
they were mean and like, wait until four pm to
(03:06):
come into this part. So I mad. Did I start
getting some anxiety? Eddy's stomach is going exactly. But outside
of that, the trip was really really amazing. I meant
a lot. I met a lot of really friendly people.
I met this one mother daughter duo. Their names were
Peggy and Tiffany. They were celebrating Tiffany's thirtieth birthday. Peggy
(03:27):
lives in Miami, Tiffany lives in London now. And Peggy
was a hoot because she was like, yeah, I made
some friends on the airplane. Airplane, I took an edible
and I was like, what you took an edible? I
was like, so someone was bringing edibles into Morocco.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Probably not a good idea, not a good idea. They
take drugs really there.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And then Tiffany's like, yeah, that's just my mom for you,
and so like, anyways, I'm friends with them, not on Instagram.
That's fun. I did get kissed by one man when
he was trying to sell me earrings on the lips.
On the cheek, oh my god, on the cheek. He
was like, you happy, I'm happy. I'm happy you happy.
And I was like, I'm not really that happy, because honestly,
you're kind of forcing me to buy these ear rings
right now. No, it just was a slipping some tongue.
(04:09):
This was a little bit of an older man that
I would never allowed to touch me.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, not.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Even like that. But yeah, Morocco is a great country.
I think it's I mean, if you're interested in going,
I think you should go. It's a beautiful country. And
the people there are very very friendly. They're like they
treat you like family. So it was a wow, did
you stumble upon Morocco? I mean of all the places
in the world, Like because I'm cheap, And I got
an email because I subscribed to this one like frugal
(04:38):
like flight service thing and it was like Morocco for
this many delta points and it equated to about three
hundred dollars total, and I was like, I had some
vacation to use. By the end of the year. I
was planning on doing a van trip and honestly, this
trip probably cost equivalent to if I would have done
a van.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Trip for the gas and everything.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
The gas and everything. So I ended up going there,
and I've had friends go there where I was like, oh,
that looks really cool. It never was on the top
of my list, but I just feel like I like
to travel frugally, and Morocco is a very affordable country
to go to. Like the places I stayed at were
under one hundred dollars a night, you know, and they
were beautiful.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, regular accommodations, I mean, not sound like a dumb American,
but like toilet, sink, comfortable bed, no bed bugs, everything work.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
You definitely like there's a there's definitely a big difference
between spending fifty dollars a night at a read versus
like one hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
At a night a hotel.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, it's like, oh, it's basically like a big Moroccan
house that has like a courtyard of the meadow. But
that's what most people say at But no, it was
all fine. It was nice. I mean one of the
reads was kind of the room itself was kind of
like it didn't have a lot of character, but the
rest of the house had a lot of characters. So
I don't know. It's just it's a very different culture.
I've never been somewhere that has palaces and had sultans
(05:55):
at one point, so it's just really fun to learn
about that kind of history.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Though, Do have it do?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I did hear. I did hear when I post one
of the photos that they're like, this looks exactly like
I was like, well, I'll be honest, I've never been
to the Morocco. It was it was, yeah, it was
not someone else, but but yeah, it was a really
fun country and I had a great time. You're not
really It's obviously a Muslim country, so drinking is not.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
The toilet's the same over there, because that's the dumb
because in some countries toilets don't look like our toilets here.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Look they're the same.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I got real hyped when I saw one of my
reads had a little hose next to their version of
a drinking water. No, no, it's to clean your bee.
So I got really excited when I saw that.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
But yeah, it was I mean, is it is it?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Like?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
I mean that one thing I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Going to be honest about. Yeah, I don't think Moroccan
foods my thing. It's my thing for like, no, it's
I'm not trying to be funny, Okay. I will say
that I tried camel burger, which I did my research. Yes,
I did my research. I had a time to make
sure that that was like an ethically type thing whatever,
and it is. It's like, it's kind of like eating
(07:10):
burgers here, Like camels are kind of like how beef
is here for us? What did it taste like? Honestly,
it wasn't anything special. It was pretty it was kind
of bland. Honestly, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I don't recommend it. No,
I would say try it, but I wouldn't say it
was like phenomenal. It wasn't like a parlor burger.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I couldn't get right.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I couldn't get past the idea that to meet the camel.
It's like, yeah, I don't really like about it anything.
Yeah I get it. Yeah, I would do it. Yeah,
but I would still be like, it's a camel.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But their main dish that most people get is called tajene,
which is it's called that because of the dish. The
actual dish that they make it in is very unique.
If you saw the dish, you would like probably be
able to associate that with Morocco, but it's all like
I don't know, it was like beef and prunes and
like it was really good. Yeah, but I liked it
one time and then I had it another time in
the trip and I was like over it. I would
(07:57):
assume it's like super rich and like very different. It
was a hard country to be in based off of
me and tummy issues and my healthiness because there was
like you're not supposed to eat the fruit there that
doesn't have peels on it. You don't drink the water.
You need to get bottled water and stuff. So I
definitely was in the airport dying yesterday morning before my
ten hour flight was about to take off. No, it
(08:21):
was just so I did. I only had tummy issues
the last like morning I was jetting out to come
back to America. But yeah, the food was probably the
one thing I kind of was like over.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
With American question McDonald's Burger King.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Did they did? And actually at the train station they
had caribou the.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, I was like what, I'll be honest, things though
there are not like the American version, because I did
get a Starbucks drink and it was all very good,
and then I got a martini at one place too,
and it was so bad. It was not a martini.
I did not know what they put in it, Like.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I could tell be careful with that alcohol in some countries, yeah,
because they don't. It's there's not the same regulations.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I well, I tried to be respectful obviously of the
culture because they don't drink. Muslim people don't drink, and
so it's like I didn't really drink. Besides, they had
some wine at a few places. But then the one
place I got a cocktail was like a place that
was really bougie in this nice hotel that I wanted
to see, and so I was like, I'm going to
just treat myself to a cocktail here. But that was
a bad choice. I should have just not gotten any alcohol.
(09:26):
So yeah, it was super fun and a lot of
people were texting if I was alone. Yes, I was alone.
It was just me and my tripod, which is how
I got all my photos. So many people are like,
are you really alone? And I know, I'm really literally.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Talked about that last week. Did she go with something?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Oh see, I thought you just asked strangers to take
your photos.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
No, strangers offered to take my photos and I was like, no,
I don't want your photos. I have my tripod. Like
I'm telling you the one time that like a few
people took photos of me, because these Asian tourists came
up to me at this one like sunset spot like
we have a bunch of photo. Well, they spoke no English,
so they're just kind of pointing and like showing that
they had a bunch of photos with my hair in it.
(10:07):
So then they're like they're telling me to stand in
this one spot and started taking more photos of me,
and I was like okay, cool. And then I was like, well,
let me get a photo with you all, because this
is hilarious to me that you're taking photos of me.
And then I did have another man also come up
to me and asked to do a photoshoot of me
when I was in like the Blue City because that
was like so pretty. That whole city is like an
(10:28):
Instagram like dream but beautiful in itself. And he was
like I've been waiting for someone with a yellow dress,
Like I'm a photographer, can I take photos? I'm gonna
be honest, I hated the photos he took head to me,
and I was like, Nope, my pripo did better right,
Like he has like a big following on Instagram, oh
and everything. But it's just not my vibe of right. Yes,
(10:51):
bad side, bad lighting, like all of the things. No,
this is not it for me. But I appreciate you,
Like I tried to collab with me on a post
on the.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Caps can I read. I just you posted this, Jenny,
And I love this about you. You said in your thirties,
there will be a really good flight deal to a
different country. It's very important that you book it, even
if you have to go alone. I Envy's not the word,
but I just love that about you because the three
of us when you told us you booked the flight,
we were just like what why Morocco?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Why alone?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Like all these things, but you wasted no time just
being like, fit, I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Go, and I'm not going to sit and pretend like
I was a nervous or scared. I definitely was. I've
only traveled by myself in my van before and I've
got and the first time I ever did that, I
was also nervous and scared, and now I'm so used
to that, and I just think that there's so many
things that you're scared to do in your life and
you'll never know until you do it. Yeah, So, like
not to make this a big inspirational moment, but I
(11:40):
genuinely feel like that trip taught me so much. And
like I think that the things that you see and
hear online you can't always trust. You have to like
experience certain things on your own. Obviously, there's plenty of
countries you definitely should not go to, yeah, that are
not safe. I'm not saying that there's places that are art.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Well actually it's just so you got to be bundled
up there so you don't like die from hypothermia. But
I just think that there's like a misconception of a
lot of places in the world. And like I've never
felt more welcomed, Like I felt so welcomed. And I hear, like,
you go in no shade about going to France. I
think that France is beautiful, but I hear that people
in Paris are assholes.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, well, sorry that all right, I'll cut that out.
But we went to France and the touristy people are
not at all. It's when you wander into some of
the neighborhoods. Let's say you're on the Las Vegas Strip.
Everybody is friendly, but you wandered down a side street
and then people are like, what are you doing here?
Not in Vegas, but that's the comparison in France, because
(12:41):
we were there in and a long time ago, and
everybody was so friendly. They speak American, They're so happy
to see you because that's the industry therein But you
wander down to what's a French guy's name, Pierre, Pierre,
Pierre's tavern in Peter's Tavern, which is two blocks off
the beaten path. Pierre is pissed that you're there. What
do you want?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
And then I get it if you lived in like
a imagine Chan hasen suddenly like became a tourist spot,
which sort of is because I mean there's Paisley Park,
but like all of a sudden, you have all these
people walking through your neighborhood constantly taking photos. I would
understand like being annoyed with that, Like I totally get that,
but I don't know. Moroccan people were very welcoming and
they treat you like family. They take care of you.
(13:19):
They did extra things for me that like I didn't
even ask for to help me out and stuff throughout
the trip, and they do, and they do have McDonald's.
If you're really feeling like you need some homes, did.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
You did you feel extra beautiful when you were there?
Because all I know is that the Epcot Morocco Pavilion,
that all of the people who work there are super
like flirty and nice.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
This is what they do to like women. I think
in general they call everyone Shakira, so like Shakira Shakira
and then they'll be nice nice. And I got this
line a couple of times, so like you drop something
and like to me, I was always like on edge
of if I was going to get scammed. There are
like some scam saying happened, but even here yeah yeah,
And so I'm like, no, I didn't. I'm good. And
(14:04):
then they're like you're crown and I was like, oh, shure,
but like I can't your crown right, I'm trying to
think because I took notes of like some of those
other things that they said, like why just because I
don't know, but they do it everywhere Because then my
Instagram feeds started getting like feeding me other things from
(14:24):
other countries and they do that in Egypt a lot too,
Like it's not just because I'm like blonde or whatever,
and a lot of people thought I was Russian too. Yeah,
I know, I can see it. Yeah, put in a
little fur hat. Yeah. But I would always just get
nice nice every time I watch Nice, Hell are you nice?
And then they always say sorry. When I'm like no,
(14:45):
thank you, They're like sorry, sorry, and I keep walking.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
So yeah, I'm gonna start doing that too. Then you
walk and I care nice.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Well, she gets that when she watched the parking lot
of The Quick Trip.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Truly nice, nice, good, Jenny
Hey, Jenny's got back from the trip of a lifetime.
I'll never go to Morocco. I might go to Disney

I'm not trying to be funny, Okay. I will say
that I tried camel burger, which I did my research. Yes,
I did my research. I had a time to make
sure that that was like an ethically type thing whatever,
and it is. It's like, it's kind of like eating
(07:10):
burgers here, Like camels are kind of like how beef
is here for us? What did it taste like? Honestly,
it wasn't anything special. It was pretty it was kind
of bland. Honestly, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I don't recommend it. No,
I would say try it, but I wouldn't say it
was like phenomenal. It wasn't like a parlor burger.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I couldn't get right.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I couldn't get past the idea that to meet the camel.
It's like, yeah, I don't really like about it anything.
Yeah I get it. Yeah, I would do it. Yeah,
but I would still be like, it's a camel.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But their main dish that most people get is called tajene,
which is it's called that because of the dish. The
actual dish that they make it in is very unique.
If you saw the dish, you would like probably be
able to associate that with Morocco, but it's all like
I don't know, it was like beef and prunes and
like it was really good. Yeah, but I liked it
one time and then I had it another time in
the trip and I was like over it. I would
(07:57):
assume it's like super rich and like very different. It
was a hard country to be in based off of
me and tummy issues and my healthiness because there was
like you're not supposed to eat the fruit there that
doesn't have peels on it. You don't drink the water.
You need to get bottled water and stuff. So I
definitely was in the airport dying yesterday morning before my
ten hour flight was about to take off. No, it
(08:21):
was just so I did. I only had tummy issues
the last like morning I was jetting out to come
back to America. But yeah, the food was probably the
one thing I kind of was like over.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
With American question McDonald's Burger King.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Did they did? And actually at the train station they
had caribou the.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, I was like what, I'll be honest, things though
there are not like the American version, because I did
get a Starbucks drink and it was all very good,
and then I got a martini at one place too,
and it was so bad. It was not a martini.
I did not know what they put in it, Like.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I could tell be careful with that alcohol in some countries, yeah,
because they don't. It's there's not the same regulations.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I well, I tried to be respectful obviously of the
culture because they don't drink. Muslim people don't drink, and
so it's like I didn't really drink. Besides, they had
some wine at a few places. But then the one
place I got a cocktail was like a place that
was really bougie in this nice hotel that I wanted
to see, and so I was like, I'm going to
just treat myself to a cocktail here. But that was
a bad choice. I should have just not gotten any alcohol.
(09:26):
So yeah, it was super fun and a lot of
people were texting if I was alone. Yes, I was alone.
It was just me and my tripod, which is how
I got all my photos. So many people are like,
are you really alone? And I know, I'm really literally.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Talked about that last week. Did she go with something?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Oh see, I thought you just asked strangers to take
your photos.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
No, strangers offered to take my photos and I was like, no,
I don't want your photos. I have my tripod. Like
I'm telling you the one time that like a few
people took photos of me, because these Asian tourists came
up to me at this one like sunset spot like
we have a bunch of photo. Well, they spoke no English,
so they're just kind of pointing and like showing that
they had a bunch of photos with my hair in it.
(10:07):
So then they're like they're telling me to stand in
this one spot and started taking more photos of me,
and I was like okay, cool. And then I was like, well,
let me get a photo with you all, because this
is hilarious to me that you're taking photos of me.
And then I did have another man also come up
to me and asked to do a photoshoot of me
when I was in like the Blue City because that
was like so pretty. That whole city is like an
(10:28):
Instagram like dream but beautiful in itself. And he was
like I've been waiting for someone with a yellow dress,
Like I'm a photographer, can I take photos? I'm gonna
be honest, I hated the photos he took head to me,
and I was like, Nope, my pripo did better right,
Like he has like a big following on Instagram, oh
and everything. But it's just not my vibe of right. Yes,
(10:51):
bad side, bad lighting, like all of the things. No,
this is not it for me. But I appreciate you,
Like I tried to collab with me on a post
on the.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Caps can I read. I just you posted this, Jenny,
And I love this about you. You said in your thirties,
there will be a really good flight deal to a
different country. It's very important that you book it, even
if you have to go alone. I Envy's not the word,
but I just love that about you because the three
of us when you told us you booked the flight,
we were just like what why Morocco?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Why alone?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Like all these things, but you wasted no time just
being like, fit, I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Go, and I'm not going to sit and pretend like
I was a nervous or scared. I definitely was. I've
only traveled by myself in my van before and I've
got and the first time I ever did that, I
was also nervous and scared, and now I'm so used
to that, and I just think that there's so many
things that you're scared to do in your life and
you'll never know until you do it. Yeah, So, like
not to make this a big inspirational moment, but I
(11:40):
genuinely feel like that trip taught me so much. And
like I think that the things that you see and
hear online you can't always trust. You have to like
experience certain things on your own. Obviously, there's plenty of
countries you definitely should not go to, yeah, that are
not safe. I'm not saying that there's places that are art.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Well actually it's just so you got to be bundled
up there so you don't like die from hypothermia. But
I just think that there's like a misconception of a
lot of places in the world. And like I've never
felt more welcomed, Like I felt so welcomed. And I hear, like,
you go in no shade about going to France. I
think that France is beautiful, but I hear that people
in Paris are assholes.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, well, sorry that all right, I'll cut that out.
But we went to France and the touristy people are
not at all. It's when you wander into some of
the neighborhoods. Let's say you're on the Las Vegas Strip.
Everybody is friendly, but you wandered down a side street
and then people are like, what are you doing here?
Not in Vegas, but that's the comparison in France, because
(12:41):
we were there in and a long time ago, and
everybody was so friendly. They speak American, They're so happy
to see you because that's the industry therein But you
wander down to what's a French guy's name, Pierre, Pierre,
Pierre's tavern in Peter's Tavern, which is two blocks off
the beaten path. Pierre is pissed that you're there. What
do you want?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
And then I get it if you lived in like
a imagine Chan hasen suddenly like became a tourist spot,
which sort of is because I mean there's Paisley Park,
but like all of a sudden, you have all these
people walking through your neighborhood constantly taking photos. I would
understand like being annoyed with that, Like I totally get that,
but I don't know. Moroccan people were very welcoming and
they treat you like family. They take care of you.
(13:19):
They did extra things for me that like I didn't
even ask for to help me out and stuff throughout
the trip, and they do, and they do have McDonald's.
If you're really feeling like you need some homes, did.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
You did you feel extra beautiful when you were there?
Because all I know is that the Epcot Morocco Pavilion,
that all of the people who work there are super
like flirty and nice.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
This is what they do to like women. I think
in general they call everyone Shakira, so like Shakira Shakira
and then they'll be nice nice. And I got this
line a couple of times, so like you drop something
and like to me, I was always like on edge
of if I was going to get scammed. There are
like some scam saying happened, but even here yeah yeah,
And so I'm like, no, I didn't. I'm good. And
(14:04):
then they're like you're crown and I was like, oh, shure,
but like I can't your crown right, I'm trying to
think because I took notes of like some of those
other things that they said, like why just because I
don't know, but they do it everywhere Because then my
Instagram feeds started getting like feeding me other things from
(14:24):
other countries and they do that in Egypt a lot too,
Like it's not just because I'm like blonde or whatever,
and a lot of people thought I was Russian too. Yeah,
I know, I can see it. Yeah, put in a
little fur hat. Yeah. But I would always just get
nice nice every time I watch Nice, Hell are you nice?
And then they always say sorry. When I'm like no,
(14:45):
thank you, They're like sorry, sorry, and I keep walking.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
So yeah, I'm gonna start doing that too. Then you
walk and I care nice.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Well, she gets that when she watched the parking lot
of The Quick Trip.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Truly nice, nice, good, Jenny
