🧳 Diary of a Wanderer: 3 Days in Chefchaouen, the Blue Maze

 

Travel Through My Senses

---

📖 Day 1 – The Color of Silence

What I Saw:
Blue. So much blue it didn’t feel real. The streets, the doors, even the flowerpots wore the sky. It was like walking inside a painting made only with indigo, turquoise, and light.

What I Heard:
Footsteps echoing on cobbled stones. The soft clatter of tea cups. And in the distance, the slow, melodic call to prayer rising over rooftops.

What I Felt:
Peace. Not the kind that comes from luxury, but from slowness. From not needing to hurry.

📖 Day 2 – A City of Whispers

What I Smelled:
Freshly baked bread. Earthy spices from market stalls. A whiff of orange blossom from a garden hidden behind blue walls.

What I Tasted:

• A warm bowl of harira soup

• Sweet mint tea sipped on a terrace

• Creamy goat cheese on crusty bread
  Every bite felt like home in a strange place.

What I Thought:
“Why don’t I travel like this more often — with no plan, no goal… just curiosity?”

📖 Day 3 – Before I Leave

What I Wrote in My Notebook:
"I didn’t come here to find myself. I came to lose myself – in color, in culture, in calm."

What I Bought:

• A blue ceramic bowl

• A handmade journal

• A memory I can’t frame but won’t forget

What I Promised:
To return one day. Not to check a box or snap a photo — but just to sit again in a blue alley and breathe.
