Hi all,

Newbie on the Morocco forum? Don’t know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your expat projects in Morocco if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Hi everyone!  I'm Meryem--an American woman currently living in Rabat since December.  I know very few people who speak English and I don't speak Darija, Arabic, or French so it's been a bit challenging.  I adore Morocco though!

MbaliMbali

Hey everyone,
I´m Sophie, a student from Germany, and planning to move for 3-4 months to Tangier to pass my internship there. As I need a room from May on I would be very thankful for any advice or help finding a place to stay (I already wrote an ad in the housing section, but maybe one of you knows someone who is looking for a new roomie or wants to let a room). But of course I would be also happy to get to know new people or being shown around in Tangier! :)

Hi there! I am Maggie and I am searching for job here in Marrakech together with my friend. Any recommendations? It is very urgent, since we don't have a lot of money. We both have master degrees (journalism and marketing) and speak good English and several other languages. We are very experienced in working in tourism, media, culture etc. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi my name is Paul.  I'm Korean American living in Los Angeles, California and I'll be visiting Casablanca between March 19th - March 31st for work.  This will be my first time in Morocco and also to a country where English is very minimally spoken.   

When I travel,  I love to try different types of cultural dishes and was wondering if anyone can introduce me to a few good restaurants that you'd recommend.   Perhaps I can join a group when you guys go out to eat or hangout.  I definitely want to try the Moroccan Couscous, Tajine, and goat head, but I can't finish it by myself!

Oops sorry accidentally post it twice haha.

Maggykay

Hi, my name is Maggy, I am moving to Casablanca with my husband this summer, and I'd like to know what would be a reasonable rent for a three bedroom apartment in a nice area? (with a balcony!). I need a neighbourhood where I could do my groceries and have a pharmacy, all within walking distance--without too many crowds or traffic. Any ideas? Thank you! Also wonder if anyone has a good recommendation for medical insurance. Thank you in advance!

Mehdd

Hi all,

I'm Mehdi from Holland. I study business communication (bachelor) and I'm interested in starting a online IT/Marketing/Design related business in Marrakech. I visit Marrakech my whole life. My mom is born and raised here and my family lives here. I love the city and I would like to move to Marrakech when I finish my study (5 months left).

Any tips, advice, or even ideas are welcome!!

RoryD

Hi all. My name's Rory. I am currently living in America but really really hope to move to Morocco over the summer. My goal is to either teach ESL (I just finished two years of teaching in South Korea) or work for a non-profit organization. I have had success finding English language schools (though no luck securing a job) but it is not as easy to find NGOs/non-profit organizations from America.

Any help on either front would be amazing.

Hope everyone is well.

Bonjour,
Je vis seule à Agadir depuis 6 ans et demi, mais j'ai beaucoup d'amis et les sorties ne manquent pas ici. Je connais beaucoup d'endroits et des bonnes adresses à faire découvrir aux nouveaux arrivants. J'aurais aimé connaitre votre blog quand je suis arrivée, donc si je peux être utile à d'autres. N'hésitez pas.

Dear all,

After more than 15 years in Canada, I am returning back home to Casablanca. As I have lost all my oldest friends, I am looking to have new ones to exchange around a coffee, a meal...  I speak pretty good English and French and of course Arabic.

Hi everyone,

I'm a full time housewife and looking for some activities i can do here in town. I used to work in my home country and i really want to keep myself active. First time to live abroad and i'd love to get to know the country and make lots of friends here. Have a good day! :)

Hi everybody, actually living in casablanca ... here to help !

pacsela

Hi  ;),
Thanks Julien for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself and my project in Morocco. Actually, I am quite familiar with the expat life as I was married to a EU diplomat, and also lived in Rabat between 2002 and 2006. Before leaving the country I started a project of sustainable tourism in the haha region nearby Essaouira but left it unfinished. That is the main reason that I want to come back, to open my guesthouse and explore biking and hiking trails in the region. To nature lovers, I would like to say "hope to see you around in September".
