Hi,

When living in a foreign country, you have to adapt to a new environment, various cultures and different social codes.

How did you manage to adjust to Morocco?

How long does it take to feel at home? Would you say it is an easy process?

According to you, what is key for a successful integration process in Morocco?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience!

The key succes for a successful integration in Morocco or any other country is learning the language of the country. By learning the language you will then learn the good and the bad things a country have. Avoid the bad things and enjoy the good things. You wil never ever fully integrate if you don't learn the language.

Don't be judgmental of how locals live their lives. be open minded to try new things and venture out . Although it will help to learn the local Dialect, most Moroccans know some English and can communicate fairly to some extent, and most of all be safe and follow your guts feeling.
Enjoy your stay and thrive :)
