I think every travelers experience will differ of course. It is a unique place to be in and it's good to note that you are living with a local who knows his own culture. Communication is always very important and knowing how to be respectful as a guest as well as a host is a fundamental skill. Said is very kind and has a lot of things to have done on his property, most of which will probably not be delegated to you unless you have those skills yourself. Understanding the Moroccan way of life may be essential before coming here but you learn it regardless. Enjoy your stay guys!

We had a wonderful time at the project. The House is very big and has many spaces to relax. It's located in the middle of nature so is very peaceful and the views are incredible. You can also go for a hike in the valleys nearby and feel connected to nature. There is many things to repair or work on in the house and Said will help you with everything you need. You can just follow his instructions or feel free to be creative and give new ideas to the project. The house is still under construction so you will get dusty and dirt but that is a minor concern. We'd love to comeback in the future. :D

I really enjoyed my 3 week stay at the project! Said was very friendly and welcoming from the first day. During my stay we did a trip to Marrakech together and he would take me to spend the evenings with his friends from the village. The accommodation is basic but is ideal if you wanna flee the hectic life and reconnect with nature. Waking up to the chirping of birds and the sound of that little water channel running through the garden are just two examples. We did a lot of different tasks in construction and gardening and I always found the work very rewarding. Would come back anytime!

The journey at saïd went in a calm sweet environment surronded by nature and chicken noises, saïd was quite welcoming and kind but hated questions and seemed more of a talker than a listener. The work i had to do was mostly clenaing and organizing , didn't learn much intersting stuff ,was excpecting to learn more about sustainble methods to build the place i was disappointed, if the volunteers don't clean no one is ever hired to do so, can be a mess even in ur own room and space but it was okay for me , i loved the flexibily could work at any time of the day i wanted , take breaks whenever.

I needed some days to adapt to the natural environment and the state of the house that suffered from a strong earthquake on 2023. I came to assist in social media but finally agreed that to be 1h in the evening, and the remaining 3h helping in preparing the foundations for reinforcement by digging. My presence was more morale support than actually being productive myself. Said has a good heart and is professional setting the working/free times, but patience in communication was key to keep a peaceful environment. I missed more volunteers for socializing, so might be ideal for introverts.
