I am very grateful that I could stay and work with Hassan and Marlise for two weeks at their beautiful home on the Anti Atlas. They are wonderful hosts and I really felt like I was family from the first day. The peace and quiet, the landscape and energy of the surroundings are amazing.

I had a wonderful Workaway experience with Hassan and Marlise. They are both very hospitable and made me feel right at home. They kindly and well accommodated my vegetarian diet and were always flexible and willing to help me with anything. I enjoyed a lot of great conversations and laughs with them and learned… read more a lot about Berber language and culture from them. I also really enjoyed Marlise's cooking (especially her vegetarian tajine and desserts).

They have a beautiful and clean house and provided me with a lot of privacy and comfort. I enjoyed the natural beauty of the village location and the tranquility of the atmosphere, which for me was perfect for lounging in a hammock, reading, and practicing yoga.

The landscaping work around the house was physically demanding but also rewarding. I learned a lot and developed new skills. Hassan and Marlise are also very encouraging and allowed me freedom to be creative with the work I did, which made it engaging and fun. But my favorite thing about working with them was that they made me feel part of the experience of preserving their family traditions and memories that this house represented.

I highly recommend a stay with them.

J'ai eu une expérience formidable avec Hassan et Marlise. Ils sont très accueillants et m'ont fait sentir comme à la maison. Ils ont gentiment et bien accommodé mon régime végétarien et étaient toujours flexibles et disposés à m'aider avec n'importe quoi. J'ai apprécié beaucoup de bonnes conversations et rires avec eux et j'ai beaucoup appris sur la langue et la culture Berbères. J'ai aussi beaucoup aimé la cuisine de Marlise (en particulier son tajine végétarien et ses desserts).

Ils ont une belle et propre maison et m'a fourni beaucoup d'intimité et de confort. J'ai apprécié la beauté naturelle de l'emplacement du village et la tranquillité de l'atmosphère, qui pour moi était parfait pour se prélasser dans un hamac, lire et pratiquer le yoga.

Le travail d'aménagement paysager autour de la maison était physiquement exigeant mais aussi gratifiant. J'ai beaucoup appris et développé de nouvelles compétences. Hassan et Marlise sont aussi très encourageants et m'ont permis de faire preuve de créativité avec le travail que j'ai fait, ce qui m'a rendu la tâche intéressante et amusante. Mais ce que je préférais de travailler avec eux, c'est qu'ils m'ont donné l'impression de faire partie de l'expérience de la préservation des traditions familiales et des souvenirs que cette maison représentait.

Je recommande un séjour avec eux.
