Kara I completely understand your reaction. I like that real moment. Thanks for sharing it. Easily could have been edited out and you didn't. Thank you for sharing what markets are really like. Josh and I dealt with similar things in Turkey. -Ash
Absolutely. My wife and I were in Turkey in 2018 and it was absolutely unbearable. The amount of hustling and pressure and dishonesty was a complete turn off. Although we enjoyed the trip overall, it left a sour taste in our mouth and we're in no hurry to return.
No apology necessary. You have such a positive attitude in all your travels. Even your frustrated and hangry is kinder and gentler than manymoments I can admit to. Just ask my family lol 😂
Oh man that was intense, the vendors came one after another!! Go girl, I'd react the same way!
Cheers to all the Karens of the World. You GO Girls!
@@TheWitness1001 she is definitely not a Karen! She was being harrassed. 'Karens' are instigators
@@bethb7965 OK. Maybe calling her a Karen was a bit harsh, but what you ladies forget to understand, is that these shop keepers survive on this. Don't look at it as harassment or them being pushy, but as them merely trying to sell a service (Food here) to feed their families. Most of these guys are nice and the Moroccan culture is a warm and "touchy" culture. It's normal for people to get closer when speaking to you, but they mean no harm. You should just enjoy the experience and know that when you go to places like Jamaa El-Fna or the Old Medina, that you go there to savor the whole experience. It's like traveling through time to a mystical place.
@@TheWitness1001 and what you so conveniently ignored is that no one was harassing Nate. Gtfoh
I lived in Morocco for 6 years and taught English as a second language. That's very normal for people to push their products or try to convince you to eat at their restaurants in Marrakech because if they don't they will go out of business as it's extremely competitive and a huge tourist trap. Other cities aren't as bad as this. I lived in Fes. It's so beautiful there. Better than Marrakech. I hope you guys enjoyed Morocco and get to go back and visit other cities! Love your vlogs!

No apologies are necessary, Kara. I'm so glad you let us see that side of you. You had every right to be frustrated as those people were in your face, disrespecting your personal space. I know that we as Americans have a much higher personal space expectations than many cultures, but body language speaks for you even if you don't know the language. You clearly were not interested, and that's when it's time to back off.
kara don’t apologize. i was getting angry for you.
they were *hounding* you.
most youtubers would have left that out. you were upfront. showing us the real experience and true emotion.
I'm Moroccan and I find that so rude they are so annoying with their offers, I would yell at them if I was there this is so embarrassing , and this is only in Marrakesh this in not a Moroccan thing.
"Their spit was on my face....." Ohh the little things you get related to at Corona time.
Thank you for showing us so consistently the ups AND the downs of travel - and teaching this stubborn, old man that there are proper ways to handle adversity. I was accosted by spruikers (Aussie term) at sooks in Dubai, and it made me want to go straight to the airport and get out. I am glad that you shared that reality. It is part of what makes this series so great.
I am moroccan and it frustrates me when I am passing by the stalls and the vendors just start coming at me like that, I found a good technique to push them away though, I make a very serious face and just say "no thank you " and they leave me alone on the spot. Hope this will help some future visitors of that beautiful place.
Are you a man? Just curious cause they didn’t seem to approach or harass Nate, just Kara.
Applause for including the good & the bad in the vlogs 👌🏻
That was an aggressive group of vendors invading you're space. You handled it well, hard not to feel annoyed.
Don't apologize I couldn't take that either. They were making me angry for you.
Please dont apologize for them, They were highly annoying
I’m impressed with how well Kara reached back and grabbed that last cup of oj without looking at it.
Your vlog has been my quarantine project and I’m obsessed. Morocco/Sahara was a top three favorite so far.
I went to Saudi Arabia a couple years ago and oh man taxi guys were even worse than here. They grabbed us by the arm to go to their cars. It made me so scared and I was with my family at the time too. I hate that side of traveling where they basically have to fight each other to get the customers. I’m learning more and more from Kara and Nate to be assertive and show now desire or weakness in the “No, thank you “ resolve
Kara, you handled the situation quite well. You have nothing to apologize for at all. Good job!
You go Kara, stand up for yourself.👍
I felt overwhelmed just watching you get harassed so much. Holy cow. Wow!!
Omg those people were GETTING ON MY NERVES! Kara handled it well ;)
I'm sorry for the rudeness of the vendors ( at the food place ), they are like that with locals as well. I hope you enjoyed your trip in global & welcome to Marrakesh again !
Dang. I got anxiety just from watching kara walk down that street. Kara had no need to apologize for being negative that was too much. And most of them were not hounding nate right behind her with the camera which is crazy. They were singling her out and trying to overwhelm her and the thing with the phone proves it. Glad you guys got out of there okay.
This is what turns me off. It’s clear they have less respect for Kara than for Nate which makes me sick
You don't have to apologize Kara for the haggling restaurant hosts messing with you. We saw the second by second play and it was a bit much....yet you side stepped them real good tells us the the thick skin is getting there. I love both you and Nate's adventurous spirit and the way you manage the personal space issue from country to country. Folks there in the Middle east tend to get closer to you that what we're used to in the West. Brings a new meaning to "just say it don't spray it!" LOL. Love you two and can't wait to see if you are coming to Hawai'i or at least the the other Polynesian islands. Aloha, Reno.
"There's a goat. Wearing a soccer jersey." 😂😂😂😂😂 _Nate Buchanan, 2016_
I love when you guys cut the music sometimes to get the full atmosphere of the place like the food vendors. Great job!
Y'all have the best attitudes!! Thanks for making our day!
Kara I completely understand your anger there...that was beyond overwhelming, and they were in ur personal bubble...yikes...glad u had a good time 99% of the time...BIG HUGS FROM IDAHO! 😊
Kara, this had me so anxious for you. I couldn't handle that.
I'm glad you shared that experience. It's hard to constantly be harassed, glad you showed it,
Keep'on movin' guys, we love your videos!
Wow I love this video guys I never found it because it's not included in your Morocco playlist. Love ya guys stay safe
Way to go Kara.....You have to be tough to travel around the world. You inspire me alot😍
Good job! Keep the realness in your videos.
I love these old videos. ❤
Y’all are adorable!!
Sadly in many cultures there is no personal space understanding. That is pretty good for all the time you guys have been traveling to be the first time someone has tried to pick your pockets!
No not pick pockets , just people trying to invite them to their restaurants
At the end Kara said someone tried to unzip her pocket to steal her phone. Not the food vendors.
Watch the vlog to the end........she did almost get pick pocketed!!!
Sadely this is a bad practice from the waiters, even for someone from the culture I don't like this happening. It happens that I have had many times jumped to the guys and told them "QUIT YOUR BULLSHIT"!
And yes, always pay attention to your pockets, there are pocket picker, not as many but there are
Earkid
I have a new life goal: To have someone taste something I've cooked and make eyes like Kara does whenever she REALLY likes a new food!
I want to go to Marrakesh just to go to that juice place, I swear. YUM.
I can totally relate...I was in the souks in Dubai and guys would come out and almost drag me into their shops to show me their items. It was exhausting and at times they were rude. I was also alone as a single American gal.
Nate is rocking the scarf! He is NYC ready!
I don't know how Kara does it ... she has a heart of gold not to go crazy on those guys!
I had my pocket picked in Rome... I carry a dummy wallet, and they got it. No harm done.
Thanks for all of the juice shots. They just made my husband decide to go into the kitchen to make us some juice.
Yoooo I know how this feels all too well. Living in Ecuador, this was a norm. Your reaction was totally natural
You don't have to apologize for getting treated like that, Kara. I would be annoyed too. A few years ago, I spent 10 days in India and the touts/harassments were endless. It gets tiring and uncomfortable when people are constantly in your personal space. Loved watching your Morocco videos, can't wait to see the Madrid ones next :)
You reacted very understandably. I went to Egypt with my mom when I was 16 and had a similar encounter in a closed in souk, they started grabbing at me and my mom absolutely lost it on them. Luckily we were with a local tour guide who helped us and taught us to yell "YOU CAN'T TOUCH ME" at them if they got way too close and started grabbing at us, because they shouldn't be touching a woman and they don't think you'll know that.
Do not be sorry thank you for showing us really what goes on..hob well done guys..your host seams very good and honest .we look forward to booking from him when we go visit;).and once again thank you so much for sharing your honest travels.;)lol ooo you handled them way nicer then i may have.lol
Watching (and rewatching) some of these old vlogs and screaming 'OMG KARA DO NOT APOLOGIZE!' Their energy and physicality was SO intense... it was LITERALLY like you were assaulted when you add it all up. If your nervous system/lifestyle isn't completely used to something like that, your body genuinely reads that as an attack and heck YES you had an appropriate reaction. I'm not sure Nate realized in the moment that you needed some protection... and of COURSE you're fine and of course you know that's just 'how they do' and it wasn't going to be dangerous, but it was too much and it makes absolute perfect sense that you were fired up. Glad you were able to move past it so quickly. I'm just grateful I get to go back in time and escape to these incredible places 'with' you guys!
I wouldn't like everyone coming to talk to me at the night market. I would have had to leave. You handled it well, Kara! Good for you kicking the guy trying to pickpocket you!!
That's the biggest struggle when visiting these countries. I wish we could explain it actually puts people off. I would avoid an area like that where I might actually have a good experience and good food. Such a shame. X
Holly SHIT I wasn't their but I felt that anxiety just as KARA did and If would of being in her shoes I for sure would POP OFFFF
If so many people I never met came up to me like that I'd have an anxiety attack
I'm still watching guys !!
yeah its morrocan soup we call is 'Harrira' hope that you enjoy it
bouthaina el rhaouas chouwhouna 😭
bouthaina el rhaouas
:D kat3arfi taybiha hhhh
That bread that you guys like is called msemen. They're so delicious and I miss them a lot too.
You’re reaction was valid girl I felt it all the way here in Houston 😂
Holy cow! What a night!
You did fine hunny! That was alot
1st ;O i like your videos!
Nate, you shouldn't have Kara walk alone!! Istanbul is similar on this restaurant "preasure" too and they only way I got rid of them was by walking holding my boyfriend's hand.
Mily Alvarez he didn’t let here ? He was walking behind her.. it has nothing to do whit sexe ..
Yes, we can attest, Istanbul was horrid.
Kara never apologize for someone being rude to you. You had a right to be hangry. You were hungry and you were trying to get to that place your host told you guys about. You keep being you don't let the youtube video change you. Keep it real Kara.
i know food venders do these a lot in foreign countries. Maybe to assist you to go to their food stalls to taste their delicious food they prepared cause they think you maybe hungry. So in our Culture" it's rude" to have food venders come to our face and direct us to their restaurant. I noticed thou in u.s.a. malls in food court that some supervisors have one of their employee stand in front of their tiny food stall and give free pieces samples of food that's in their menu to passer's by who may want to sample their fast food products b4 ordering. So that's a good option.
Kara, there is no need to apologize while walking through that food market. I was sitting here at home having a conniption. Oh, snap and the part where you were almost pickpocketed I would have windmilled him...fist of fury, LOL Glad you guys are okay. Stay safe in your future travels...I'm a new sub and wanted to know did you guys ever go to the Dominican Republic? My parents are from there and I haven't been back for over 15 years after a bad expirence.
I don't think Kara was rude or negative at all. expressing her frustration was not being negative. Come on Nate!
You guys are really considerate and grateful in all your circumstances. but this one was a valid instance where expressing frustration is not the same as being negative.
Watching "From the Beginning". wow you guys K&N! we are starting the 2017 videos next. can't wait!
I'm with Kara..sorry Nate, but I completely agree ..if I want your food..I'll buy some! Her anger and frustration was completely understandable ..they seemed more pushy than other places too. "In your face" intrusive.
Ever since you guys said Nate is always recognized as Cristiano Ronaldo, I'm seeing it more and more! And I laughed out loud when you guys got another juice after dessert lol ya'll are obsessed.
Just Taylor Yessss he looks just like Ronaldo 😂😂
Yeah a copy of CR
great vlogs
I love youre vlog u and nate have spcel abilty to makeYOURE BLOGS FUN TO WATCH ALL THE VLOGS
Guess you guys liked the juice. Be safe out there.
The street food is nice. Hotel owners, taxi drivers etc get a percent if they recommend stores or restaurants. I think thats why the owner of the riyad recommended a specific restaurant
The restaurant dudes reminded me of the ones in Khao San Road. They really want your business!
Hi Kara, I'm going Marrakech on Monday and I would love to know the name of the place you had the chicken noodles in, many thanks xxx
Awww when Nate has his injuries you are sooo brave - but when you cut yourself you don't dare look! That was the cutest! :D
I have so much to say 2 years later on this vlog. sorry late to the party here watching them en mass. Those men would never do that to a Moroccan woman, and you have every right to be angry. They were disrespecting you in an underhanded cultural way. I would love to suggest a book called Guests of the Sheikh by Elizabeth Warnock Fernea. She also has one called a Street in Marrakesh. She is an amazing writer, Christian woman who lived in Muslim areas with her anthropologist husband in 60s.
Great video
Phew! This vlog definitely gave me anxiety! After your vlog from yesterday, I had this place on my bucket list, but after watching this vlog...NOPE! There was that one creeper staring at Kara while Nate was buying the scarf. And then WOW! I couldn't believe the amount of men who kept getting in her face, one after another. Kara was WAY more patient than I would have probably been! And I couldn't believe that Nate was just letting it happen to be honest, staying the distance between them like he did. Some of those men looked like they were being quite forceful and I honestly was expecting them to just grab her arm or something. I wanted to hug Kara afterwards. 😔 I'm sort of annoyed at Nate, making her feel like she needed to apologize while he didn't do his part to protect her in the first place. And then at the end when he high-fived her because someone unzipped her pocket to take her phone and she kicked the guy!?! Nate, keep Kara closer to you instead of being a distant observer! Poor Kara!
Yeah the fact that no one was harassing Nate but they were all over Kara is disturbing!
Going in May 2018,Cannot wait.
YNWA did you go?
Having visited Marrakesh many times when walking in the square just say I have already eaten or rub your tummy .
You are brave!
Please keep showing the realness of your travels. Everything doesn’t have to be “positive”. And I’m a little perturbed that Nate didn’t come to your aid. Of course he would call your reaction negative. He has no idea what it’s like to walk in the world as a woman. His privilege was showing. But I still love ya Nate!
I was yelling at the video "LEAVE KARA ALONE!"
Now all I can think of is the guy under the blanket yelling "Leave Britney Alone!"
I can't wait to go to Morocco in January. I've been looking at prices. Even for a third world country the food prices seem crazy cheap.
Also for food they seem more agressive than I experienced in Istanbul. Your A&B guide for food sounds great. I would love to have those reccomendation.
Nick Mozzicato have you visited morroco or not?😂
Great tour, I'm moroccan and trust me, I get more frustrated than you did because of all the disturbing dudes trynna sell you stuff.. but you know, souks! Hope you had a good time doe xxx
They spent $1.20 getting 3 juice drinks in one day.
Incredible! 😁
You do not need to apologize. Seriously. I was dead ass annoyed when I saw them coming close. I wear dark shades to avoid any eye contact.
omg😓 I'm so sorry that you hurt yourself ...... the food looks really good though😁
Old school culture - Nate needed to lead.
Great video! Do you have the names of the restaurants you liked?
شكرا
Thats how they make their business in some market or restaurant vending places around the world, you have to get use to it. Or simply don't go to that area where they do that type of form for business. Markets in Mexico, Indonesia, UAE, Belize are like that just to name a few countries.
the soup at the end called harira . best soup ever . the hustling is a problem in marrakech they are like hungry dogs . i m moroccan by the way i know what i m talking about
don't apologize it's understanding to be that frustrated. Truthfully you handled it way better then i would have
I didn’t think you needed to apologize at all. If you felt uncomfortable that’s just how you felt, especially since they were invading your personal space. That’s not cool no matter where u are in the world. Kinda surprised Nate just let you fend for yourself but yeah- no need to apologize for your reaction bc I would’ve reacted the same way!
What’s the name of restaurant in the beginning of the vlog? Anyone knows where to find in Marrakech?
where u get the scarf i want one
Take a shot everytime they drink orange juice in morocco
Am I wrong, usually you guys avoid going out at night? Got skeevy fast. Check out the guy at 5:51 just leering and smoking a cigarette in a doorway.
Would love to hear your alls thoughts on traveling to places where this happens more often, (looking at you Italy!)
If I ever go, I would be like y'all getting fresh juices 3-4x a day 👏🏾😂
Don’t apologize. I would’ve acted the same way. I love how real y’all keep it. Showing some bad with all the good. And then your phone!!!! Ahhhh!!!!!
Just wondering, how often do you take pepto bismal?
Haha I couldn't even get shots of them harassing us at the square. It really was too much.
It is a very understanadble reaction. Unfortunately in some countries where a lot of tourist are the sale comes way befor respect and common sence. Marrakech is certenly diverse just like the wolrd. You find the good and the bad.
