Hey everyone,
Welcome to my small personal fundraising page, I am happy you passed by!
Let me shortly explain in a few words why I started this page :)
So on November 28th I will be celebrating my birthday and like all of us I have had wishes and dreams since I was a little kid. When I was 15 years old I decided to leave my home - why? Because my dream is to see the world! And what is home? My home, the place where I grew up in is a small tiny village around Taliouine, Morocco. Don`t get me wrong - it is a beautiful place and I have a wonderful family there that I love truely, but the access to further education and life changing opportunities is scarce. So I as a young guy with an adventurous soul had to make the decision to take off.
So I made my way, passing through different places and phases on my journey. I learned a lot about life, how to stand on my own feet and I quickly noticed the buzzing city is not for me either. So I found myself drawn to the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Along the way I have met many wonderful people, who helped me get to where I am today. Especially since moving to Imsouane and working here within the surfing community. When I first got here surfing was an unknown sport to me, but watching those perfectly aligned waves of the Bay quickly got me tempted to try and step up on a board. Now, a couple of years later I can say I feel Surfing has become a major part of my life, that makes me happy and motivates me to keep moving forward with my life.
Here in Imsouane I found a new home, but also my wish to travel has exponentially increased since living in this place. Every day I meet all these interesting personalities from all over the globe. Many of these people have seen bits of the world at my age and still keep coming back to Imsouane, which shows me that this is a very special place to be living in.
Now I am very grateful to be here, to surf, to work and to have good people around me.
But as I said I have one big dream to see and learn more about our beautiful planet and surf waves outside of Morocco. I have been working on this dream for a while but with my current income and expenses of daily life in a Moroccan holiday town it is quite challenging to put some money aside at the end of the month to save up for such an adventure (including flight tickets, insurance, transportation, accommodation etc).
There is a small savings jar I started, but here comes the purpose of this page:
If you have met me and got to know me a little bit, then you know I like to find my way and try to work things out on my own, but with life experience you learn it is also ok to ask for help and support! I strongly believe an experience like this will help me grow and advance in my life.
So if you would like to support my dream and help fill up that jar with a small birthday donation it would literally mean THE WORLD to me - seeing the world will finally be possible!
Every small donation is a big step closer to the boarding gate for me - for now a final destination is still uncertain but my wish is to travel in the upcoming spring/summer. Everything will depend on the travel situation within the next months and the rather limited open doors my Moroccan passport offers me (e.g. applying for a travel visa to Europe may take several months, requires some money in the bank and is still very likely to be rejected).
But there is a whole world out there and I promise I will share all my good experiences with you whenever and wherever I get to go and I am happy for any surf travel recommendations as well!
Cheers guys, I appreciate your love and support!
Jamal
PS: On a side note - I can tell you, that my story is not an uncommon one growing up in a rural place in Morocco, but I choose to explain this to you to understand and learn more about my beautiful yet very diverse home country.
