After two months of studying Portuguese, I can’t help but wonder how different my trip to Portugal would have been if I knew the language… or even if I knew the little I know now.
Anywhere’s better than home when you’re not hungry, man. But leave and the only thing you want is home cooking. I haven’t been satisfied since 1987.
The Alhambra, Granada, Spain.
I went to see it at night and it was even creepier in person.

“¿Quién te trajo?”
The day I took this picture, I was wondering the souks of Marrakesh at 2am with my friend (the guy in the foreground of the picture) and a DSLR. Luckily, we were hanging out with a local named Ahmed that seemed to know every single person we encountered. He was a quite interesting and we bonded over the fact that were both surprised that other spoke the Spanish language. When I asked how he learned it he told me a labyrinthine tale involving drugs, deportation and doing time in a Columbian prison. We stopped at a food stand and people kept saying something to us. Over and over they repeated the phrase, but since neither of us spoke Dirija, we had no idea how to respond. I asked Ahmed what they were saying. He thought for a second and said:
“¿Quién te trajo?”
or
“Who brought you here?”
I guess we stood out.

Chefchaouen is a gorgeous mountain city in northeastern Morocco. It’s no wonder that tourists flock here — this humble town is the embodiment of almost every Moroccan cliché. The picturesque medina, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Rif Mountains, is filled with white-washed homes with distinctive, powder-blue accents, and the call to prayer rings out of several mosques around the town in chorus. If you’ve got a few days to relax from the rigors of travel, this is a good place to do it.
Chefchaouen! One of the coolest places I’ve ever been to.

My posse's full of women, computer nerds and thugs. Much to my dismay, I'm none of the above.
