Hello, brother. Your English is very clear, and welcome to Morocco. In my opinion any street food is garbage, so it is advisable to learn how to prepare your meals at home, similar to those you would eat in a restaurant.

I also used to have so many indian friends and i even had an indian flat mate😍 well Have a great time in Morocco Ankur, there is still a lot to see and discover.

Cleaners in the US just do a few light things and nickel and dime, deep cleaning would be too expensive, and that you’ll pay per hour!
Thank you for making these videos, soooo helpful! I live in California now but I am planning to move to Morocco InshaAllah very soon. It was helpful to know that it will be more expensive in July and August. Also I would love to see more details on how you bought a home there. Was there a lot of Red Tape???🙂↕️ Also, I would be working remote from America as well. Are you able to keep up with thr time Zone differences? Also, lol so sorry for all these questions, 😅 but how easy was it to open a bank account with Bank of Africa if you dont have Moroccan ID. Did it need to be a business account??? How would you get money out of your bank in America to buy a home, without a lot of Red Tape? I would prefer to buy as well something affordable as well instead of renting But i am not sure if they allow a paymenr plan for an American, like a down payment then another 2 or 3 payments? If you dont mind i can email you as well. My name is Salimah
Such a nice experience! just for the rent car I think if you ll live here better to buy a car it will coast much cheaper that rent! I live in tangier btw and for the summer better to find an other place than cabo negro (7th and 8th motn if will be full!) 🤭 have a nice stay in Mocrocco

Brother. Tetouan has the most expensive car rentals offers. If i was you i would buy one Dacia, its cheap rather than for example renting that for a year. That would almost be 50% paid off a brand new car. I live overseas but from tetouan and noticed that renting a car anywhere but tetouan is cheaper long term. Nice contents and lovely to see you love my hometown. Hidden Gem of a city. Respect from Norway

bro you can lease a brand new Dacia for as little as 250 USD a month and they take care of everything and not only that after two years they will change it for newer car ....check out wity them about the leading offers they have....the only problem is that you may be need your carte de sejour first ....then you will be able to take advantage of this offer

The fact that you said eat a few days a week healthy and a few days a week at home makes me understand you’ve totally got your wires crossed with eating food hahaha Eating out is majority unhealthy and eating at home a cooked meal is always healthy unless you eat junk. I have never heard anyone say I eat out to stay healthy as that’s insane 😂 When you eat out they cook with cheap oil, cheap salt, cheaper ingredients than at home where you source the best of everything. What it costs me to eat out one meal in sydney Australia I can eat for over a week at home with healthy meals. I’m guessing this is the youth today…

I mean you can drive with a moroccan car outside of Morocco, we used to drive all the time in Spain, some go even to germany with Moroccan car, you pay like 10euro for it in the ferry + an insurance or smtg. yes you should absolutly buy a car, 1000$ is too much bruv, some would even say stupidly too much, bruv you'd end up paying way less in instalments and owning the damn car + reselling it later it wouldn't loose too much of it's value like in the USA or Europe, you'll notice used car are sill expensive in Morocco

You talk about your workout but you didn't include a gym membership?? Are you training outside for free or forgot to include the cost of your gym membership? Edit i just saw on comments below you forgot to include it! If you plan to stay for year investing in a second hand car might be more economical because you could resell the car! Renting is a net loss unless you can deduct the cost for your job !

man you waste lot of money on your car, its true car are very expensive in morocco, but if you only go out once or twice per day, i think getting taxies or indrive ( uber ) and using the train to go to other city, can cost you way less, and you can rent a car for a day if your goal is to go to a far away beach that its hard to use taxies on it
