Your note about going abroad with a separate purpose than just being abroad is supper big. I agree so much.

@TheJazzyNation1

Right? It's something I struggled with because I did not have a purpose other than my journey abroad when I first moved to Morocco. Then I realized I needed more and once I started to do things that interested me and gave me fulfillment, I was so much happier!

Language was something I struggled with also because when locals spoke English they would always tell me to speak english. In return, I would tell them that I wanted to speak Darija and they could speak to me in English. Balance lol! There is so much truth in your statement about going abroad with a purpose. When decided to apply for Peace Corps it covered all of my basic needs and as a newbie moving to a new country Peace Corps guidance and security helped me to take the leap abroad. I am so grateful for you sharing your story online because that is how I found you lol!!!

I love this comment so much, Shanay! Balance with language is key at the end of the day. As long as I am able to communicate what I need, I am good to go! Yes, I will be honest, I did not have much of a purpose when I first moved abroad (even though I had a job). I really had to mentally shift my energy and realize I was in Morocco for so much more than I originally thought. Then I really started to enjoy my life there, but it took time. I am so happy we got to meet! I feel blessed to have you in my circle now. I look forward to working with you more in the future and also following along on your journey as you continue to do amazing things.

The funniest thing: I have been interested in moving abroad for years. My mom, with whom I am close, is always on the receiving end of my travel aspiration discourse. She has said that if I left North America, she would want to come along; this morning, I found an article on Travel Noire about Shanay Braxton's experiences in Morocco; upon reading it to my mom, instantaneously, she expressed that it was where she wanted to be. I concurred. Something between the two of us and Morocco clicked. Just now, I came across this video and your channel for the first time, and Shanay is mentioned. Of course, we intend to plan and not rush something such as this, but I do not believe in coincidences. This is divine alignment. Jazzy, thank you for sharing your experience and recommendations.
