Video Documentary Realia _Our Trip to Morocco

From HumanBeingCurious.com:

“This is a two-part video and one part audio series about the trip we took this spring to Morocco

Parts 1 & 2 will be a video documentation of our journey, and part 3 will be an audio podcast of Steph and I discussing what we learned about Morocco.

Please be aware that when we created this video, it was merely for personal purposes. We hadn’t quite thought of the idea to create Human Being Curious at the time we went to Morocco, so keep in mind that this video is not what you should ideally expect to see from us when we travel somewhere “
