    Description

    Hi! I’m Abdou, from Essaouira, one of the most beautiful and authentic cities in Morocco 🇲🇦🌊

    Last year, I started my own small company organizing tourist activities around Essaouira, and thankfully, it has been growing really well. At the moment, I’m managing everything by myself, so I’m looking for someone friendly, motivated, and responsible to come and help me.

    There are different things to help with, depending on the day and the activities: welcoming guests, helping with check-ins and check-outs, keeping things clean and organized, preparing for activities, communicating with guests, and helping with the general day-to-day work.

    I’m also very open to people with creative or special skills. If you’re an artist, enjoy painting, photography, music, yoga, fitness, or any other creative or wellness activity, that would be a great bonus! 🎨🎵🧘‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

    I’ve also recently opened a new villa with a swimming pool, so if you’re good at yoga, fitness, or leading simple activities/exercises, it would be really nice to have you around and bring some of your own ideas to the place. 😊

    If you speak Spanish, that’s also a big plus 🇪🇸, as we sometimes have Spanish-speaking guests. But it’s absolutely not a requirement.

    You’ll have the opportunity to discover Essaouira, meet people from all over the world, experience Moroccan culture, and enjoy some of the activities and beautiful places around the area.

    I’m looking for someone easygoing, independent, positive, and happy to get involved. You don’t need to be an expert — what matters most to me is having a good attitude and being willing to help.

    It would be great to have you join me and become part of this little project while experiencing everyday life in Morocco! 🇲🇦🌴

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Experience Moroccan culture 🇲🇦

    One of the nicest parts of staying with me is getting to experience everyday Moroccan life and spending time with local people.

    We can share meals, stories, and conversations about Moroccan culture, traditions, and daily life. My friends and I would also be happy to teach you some basic Arabic and show you how to cook traditional Moroccan food. 🍲😊

    I love sharing our culture with travelers and, in return, I’m always happy to learn about your culture, your stories, and your way of life. For me, it’s all about sharing, meeting new people, and creating good memories together.

    What you’ll be helping with 🌿

    The help is quite varied, so every day can be a little different. Depending on what is happening, you may help with:

    * Welcoming guests and helping with check-ins and check-outs
    * Keeping the villa and guest areas clean and organized
    * Preparing the house before new guests arrive
    * Helping with tourist activities and communicating with guests
    * Helping with simple day-to-day tasks around the business
    * Taking photos or videos for activities and social media if you enjoy it
    * Bringing your own creative ideas to improve the experience for guests
    * Helping with yoga, fitness, or other wellness activities if you have experience
    * Helping with painting, music, photography, or other artistic activities if that’s your thing

    When can you come? 📅

    I’m quite flexible with dates, and we can discuss the period that works best for you. I usually prefer volunteers who can stay for a reasonable amount of time so that we can get to know each other and you can become comfortable with the work.

    The schedule can also vary depending on the bookings and activities. There will be free time for you to enjoy Essaouira, go to the beach, explore the area, relax by the swimming pool, or discover Moroccan culture. 🌊☀️🇲🇦

    The most important thing for me is that you are responsible, positive, independent, and happy to help.

    Where you’ll stay 🏡

    I live alone in a nice and quiet neighborhood, just about 5 minutes from the beach. I have a comfortable apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom.

    You’ll have access to everything you need and you’re welcome to use the kitchen and cook at home whenever you like. 🍳

    I also regularly organize Moroccan cooking classes, so there is often plenty of delicious food around! 😋🇲🇦 We can also cook together and I’d be happy to share some Moroccan recipes and cooking traditions with you.

    I want you to feel comfortable and at home during your stay, while also having the freedom to enjoy Essaouira and explore the area in your free time. 🌊☀️
