    Description

    Hi there! Thank you for visiting my page.
    I’m a socio-cultural psychologist and an optimistic, open-minded mom to a well-behaved five-year-old boy. As an American citizen who has traveled and lived in several countries over the past 20+ years, I feel incredibly fortunate. I believe that each new culture we encounter enriches our lives and broadens our perspectives in unique ways. For the past eight years, I have enjoyed living in all regions of Morocco. However, my health has recently declined, and I now require some assistance around the house. We are centrally located between Casablanca, Marrakesh, and Agadir, just minutes from the ocean. Here, you can spend time with some wonderful animals, become part of our family, and share travel stories.

    Help

    There are many opportunities to assist depending on your skills and expertise:
    If you have experience training dogs, I have a Belgian Malinois that would love to work with you to learn how to leave the free-range chickens alone.
    If you are an experienced Waldorf educator, I am eager to learn new techniques to enhance my son's homeschooling experience.
    Above all else, I need help with the daily cleaning and upkeep of the house—just two hours a day cleaning the home to maintain its cleanness.
    If you have the skills, I also need a dog house to be built and a garden to be planted.
    Always open to suggestions based upon your personalized skills.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    A weekly souk—a traditional open-air market—offers a unique opportunity to visit alongside the quaint little traditional village and the spectacular ocean. We are centrally located between Casablanca, Marrakesh, and Agadir, making day trips to these major tourist cities very convenient. We can easily arrange trips to see either the desert with its amazing sand dunes or the mountains. We can help you arrange any kind of personalized touristic experience you would like to have or see; just let us know what you hope to gain from your trip to Morocco.
