    Description

    My name is Mehdi and I live with my wife Najat and our 11-year-old son Iyad in a small, very quiet village between Chefchaouen and Ouezzane. I can offer a room and share the family's good meals in exchange for help with growing our vegetable garden, hosting campers that I receive at my home with my wife and/or helping with the olive harvest between October and December. The person will live completely with the family and participate in their activities. They will be able to take the opportunity to visit the surrounding area and learn about local customs, as well as cooking with the family for family diners. We often have visit from family members and friends.

    Je m'appelle Mehdi et je vis avec ma femme Najat et notre fils de 11 ans iyad dans un petit village très tranquille entre Chefchaouen et Ouezzane. Je peux proposer une chambre et partager les bons repas de la famille en échange d'une aide pour la culture de notre potager, l'accueil des camping -caristes que je reçois chez moi avec ma femme et/ou une aide a la récolte des olives entre octobre et décembre. La personne vivra complètement avec la famille et participera à ses activités. Elle pourra profiter pour visiter les alentours et connaître les coutumes locales et partager la cuisine en famille pour les repas de famille. Souvent des amis ou membres de la famille viennent nous rendre visite.
