They always encouraged me to go whenever I had time/money, said the same thing about accommodations food etc, and that it is a very nice place to go for short visit. This couple will do well wherever they go, they have a great attitude.

    Lovely interview, Tianka and her husband are wonderful. Tianka is more exposed to the culture because of her job. Her husband stays home more hence it’s obvious that he has given her the space to speak more on the subject. However, he seem to be a more quiet person and he allows his wife to shine her beautiful personality. Brave, confident and beautiful couple.
    Like Xavier I was in Spain 2019 and took the 1 day trip to Tangier Morocco via the ferry.
    Love this couple continue to shine. Another great Jamaicans around the world interview

    Im a British Born Jamaican Muslim, i visited morocco last year and i was more received and hosted by the moroccan people than in any country i have ever been to in my life to date. I was invited for dinner at so many local houses who even insisted that i even stay the night, then made me breakfast in the morning, all for the love, at no costs. Best way to say, "It was like experiencing white privilege as a Black Man". Love moroccans, May Allah bless you all and the Jamaican people.

    They seem to like living in Morocco. I enjoyed visiting several cities in Morocco but couldn't get around liking the meat hanging out plus the disparity between rich & poor. Due to religious beliefs the distinct treatment of women & men clearly visible. As tourists walking around after dinner the all men establishments present. Love the shopping & bargaining experience.
