Morocco is one of the first countries to befriend the USA.

American Lucas Peters returned the favor when he made a home for himself in

Tanger. Coming up, he takes us on a day trip into the old port city.

You get to go through the Casbah, the Medina, you see the suks, the markets, the

liveliness of it all, of old Tanger. Canadian Nikki Salano found the tropical

scenery of Costa Rica to be an irresistible change of pace from Ontario.

She invites us to be amazed as well.

Custric is wildly biodiverse. There is so much wildlife, marine life, birds

that you can find here. It's incredible.

Dutch linguist Gastendorin takes us language spotting to see how languages

borrow and steal from each other to become what they are today.

One of the big changes over the last century is the dialects of all these

languages are becoming more similar or like each other.

Let's head for wherever our words can take us and the our head on travel with

Rick Steves.

They each left home to explore the world and fell in love with another country

in more ways than one. Lucas Peters joins us in a minute to recommend the

sights in the city of Tangier, Morocco, just across the

straighted Gibraltar from Spain. And in a bit Nikki Salano shares her

enthusiasm for Costa Rica, where nature and adventure make it the top

tourism draw in Central America. Plus, a linguist from the Netherlands

tells us how the language barrier can actually be a fun part of your travels.
