Houseshare & making new friends in Marrakech Jan 2011

Welcome to Expat.com, GMH12

First of all, I'll move your topic to the forum of Marrakech to give it a better visibility and I recommend you visit Marrakech Classifieds -> House share ads where several ads have been published.

Good luck and a nice day further

Hi,

I've just read your message and looks like you must be on your way! A friend of mine has just returned to the U.K. from Marrakech after 8 years working and living here, married a local chap, had a lovely boy and then all went pear-shaped.....so just be careful, that's all. It's a big cultural divide here, and you need to have a strong character, otherwise you'll get worn down - god I sound like a real whinger! Anyway, I live in Marrakech and know one or two people. I run a guesthouse called Les Trois Mages (lestroismages.com) but am considering returning to the U.K. to train as a teacher so there maybe a job going here, if you are looking for one! I have a house in sunny Eye, not a million miles away from Bury - ooh I could die for a pint of IPA! Best wishes and the best of luck!

Hi Aidan, Thanks for your message. I'm back in Bury having just spent a week with my boyfirend in Marrakech. The cultural difference is huge it has to be said and at times not at all easy but I'm willing to give it a try. But really appreciate your advice! I have heard other horror stories!! I may well be interested if there is a job going at the guest house, if you wouldn't mind letting me know more at it. Can't believe you are from Eye, its very Christmasy here at the moment. Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Georgina
