My Biggest Challenge Living in Casablanca Might Surprise You

What's been my biggest challenge since moving to Casablanca? It isn't the food. It isn't my new job. It isn't even being thousands of miles away from everything familiar. It's crossing the street. In Episode 11 of Casablanca Chronicles, I'm sharing vulnerably about something that sounds incredibly simple but has become one of the most uncomfortable parts of navigating my new life in Morocco. Crossing a street is something I've done thousands of times. But moving to a new city means learning new rhythms—including how people, cars, pedestrians, and streets interact. And I've realized that I don't always feel confident doing it yet. This episode isn't about judging how another city works. It's about acknowledging what happens when something you've always taken for granted suddenly feels unfamiliar—and what that discomfort can teach you about adaptation. In this episode: My biggest challenge living in Casablanca Why crossing the street makes me uncomfortable Losing confidence in something that once felt automatic Learning by observing the people around me Cultural adjustment and everyday life in Morocco Why vulnerability is part of starting over Finding courage in surprisingly ordinary moments One of the most humbling things about moving abroad is realizing how many invisible systems you knew how to navigate without even thinking about them. Then you move somewhere new and suddenly, you're a beginner again. Sometimes courage isn't moving across an ocean-- sometimes it's simply getting to the other side of the street.
