I Got Completely Lost on Day 1 in Casablanca

I officially live in Casablanca, Morocco—and on my very first day exploring my new neighborhood, I got completely lost. What was supposed to be a simple 5-minute walk turned into a 40-minute adventure through unfamiliar streets. Welcome to Episode 1 of Casablanca Chronicles, my new series documenting what it's really like to build a life in Morocco—not as a tourist, but as someone learning how to call Casablanca home. Getting lost wasn't exactly how I planned to begin this chapter. But what could have been a frustrating experience became one of my first meaningful lessons about my new community. As I tried to find my way, I experienced the friendliness and generosity of Moroccan people who were willing to point me in the right direction and help a very confused newcomer navigate her neighborhood. In this episode: My first days living in Casablanca How a 5-minute walk became a 40-minute adventure Learning to navigate my new neighborhood Why getting lost became a surprisingly meaningful introduction to Casablanca After months of preparing for my move to Morocco, the move is finally over. Now comes the interesting part: Learning how to actually live here.
