Description
Salam aleikum!
We are a young family living in Ouarzazate, a calm city surrounded by the atlas mountains. We have three kids (2,5 & 9 years old). We love to host people from different cultures and give them the opportunity to dive into the Moroccan way of life.
What this is about:
First of all we're aiming to show our kids a welcoming and open minded way of life by being their role models.
We are looking for cultural exchange
and would love to host different people from all over the world. We want to improve our English and the language skills of our kids as well.
We are looking for wholehearted, fun and kind persons to stay with us and spend time with our kids.
About us:
I grew up in a small mountain village near Ouarzazate. I'm a self defence trainer and my purpose is not only to teach people how to master their body but also gain mental strength, self confidence and optimism for their life's. Everyone is welcome in our classes (the gender, age and physical ability doesn't matter).
My wife is also a local from Ouarzazate and has a wide knowledge about the city. She offers fittness, dancing and yoga classes for women specifically.
