🌿 Farm Stay & Cultural Exchange in Magical Morocco 🌍
The experience
Hi there! 👋 My love for humanity, animals 🐾, nature 🌳, travel ✈️, and the dream of living on a farm 🐓 led me to Morocco in February 2024. Since then, I’ve been pouring my heart into a fixer-upper farm—a place I call my own "Villa Villekulla," inspired by my childhood hero, Pippi Longstocking 🧡.
As a solo female adventurer 💪✨, this journey has been a mix of exciting challenges and joyful discoveries.

Program Details
This is a hands-on situation and you can do whatever it is you’re good at, or that needs priority or you just enjoy doing it… I want my guests to enjoy and love where they at.
Carpenter lovers; The Farm is a fixer-upper, the house is standing and strong The kitchen needs to go back to its original location. Bathroom need tiles.You’re a gem if you’ve worked with cement/concrete.
Electrician lovers; Cameras have been poorly installed if you can take a look at them that would be amazing.
Soil lovers; The trees need TLC, Seasonal harvest and pruning, cultivation, and clearing land from debris rocks, sticks and branches. Planting plants, and herbs that are of benefit for humans, animals, and soil... Need help with composting.
Animal lovers; Give our four legs friends TLC. There are 7 cats, chickens, turkeys, and a dog ( experienced dog trainers wanted, 🐶 ). I would love the family to grow to 2 goats, a beehive, two extra dogs, and a horse.
This is a farm, and farm life is nothing like city life. If this sounds it is something you like to be part of, please answer the below questions when you reach out. There are days we work more and there are days we just keep it "easy like Sunday morning".
