This is the book I mentioned:
Beyond Guilt Trips: Mindful Travel in an Unequal World, by Anu Taranath
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42686058-beyond-guilt-trips
"...Well-intentioned and curious Westerners--brought up to believe that international travel broadens our horizons--travel to low-income countries to learn about people and cultures different from their own. While travel abroad can provide much-needed perspective, it can also be deeply unsettling, confusing, and discomforting."

What an amazing - and insightful - experience, Piper!
Nice work, Jillian. A suggestion: If you reprint or re-use the poster, a map would be helpful - put Tunisia and Algeria in context geographically.
What are the primary markets and uses for their seaweed?
Love your post, your pictures, and that you had this life-changing experience!
