Marrakesh
“Marrakesh is this beautiful, complicated, crazy, intense city…
And it’s like the first day of school, you know? Don’t expect to know everything the first day. Just take the pressure off yourself a little bit, get a little acclimated. And the next thing you know, you can be happier than you’ve ever been.”
