Description
We are a multinational couple, He is from Morocco(but has spent 17 years in the U.S.) and she is from Kentucky. We decided to leave the U.S. and live off the grid and we think you will like what we've done. We live about 43 kilometers outside of Marrakesh on a farm with solar power and are looking to build further on our piece of land. Come visit us and see the local village market, the olive press, and more! If you have ever wanted advice on how to escape the grind and live the good life in the country we look forward to meeting you and exchanging ideas.

A great stay with full on exposure to off - grid living. Lots of dirt to play in and a fantastic location for full immersion in Moroccan culture. Thanks guys for the warm friendship and conversations. So great to meet all your local friends and visit the Souks. Have a great life out there in paradise. Big hug. Ken
