We didn’t mean to become nomads ourselves but things seem to be working out that way. We’re an American family who lived nearly 6 years in Nouakchott, Mauritania, located where the sands of the Sahara meet the waters of the Atlantic. Along the way we spent a year in the French Alps, and we just moved to Morocco by way of Oregon. This blog chronicles the various aspects of our lives, from adjusting again to North Africa (easier said than done) to the kids all going to a French junior high school. I am wife to Donn and mother to Elliot, 14, and boy-girl twins Abel and Ilsa, 12.

Hi there! I noticed your comment over at my sister-in-law’s blog, Tip of the Iceberg. I know I’ve stopped this way before or at least “seen” you in some familiar blog neighborhoods.
I thought I’d ask if you could recommend any past posts that are quintessential Planet Nomad. I’d like to poke around the archives a bit but I like a map when I go exploring!

Hey, it sounds exotic moving to a place like this. I can see the hardship, though, coming from the US to adjust living with lower standards of technology. I hope you fare fine and have a lot of fun…

Do you know how many times I’ve thought and laughed about the Christmas musical you told me about? “You WILL be with child.” Thanks for the giggles.

Great pics of Marrakech, though I have not been to Rabat. I have however been to Essaouira, which I loved. Morrocco on the whole is fab, the people wonderful, Rai and Gnawa music beautiful. Wish I could live there!

If you’re seriously getting rid of stuff in Portland, my husband and I just moved here and are looking for a few items…

I have something for you (by way of my blog) and wanted to make sure I address you correctly. I don’t think I’ve ever seen your name on here! Since you have names for everyone else, I just wanted to make sure I haven’t missed it. Can you email me back and let me know what you prefer to be called?

Hi! Found you via Rocks in My Dryer. Your life sounds so exotic to me and wonderful. We are considering a career change here and possibly overseas work. Can you tell me what your dh does?
Looking forward to reading and learning more,

Came across your website and am enjoying it. From 1995-6, my husband, daughter (aged 10), and I lived for a year in Indonesia and Cameroon. We had to homeschool her, which was a good experience and helped turn her into a vibrant citizen diplomat. She now has an import/export business importing Berber rugs and working with poor Berber women weavers. Her blog details how she ended up working in Morocco at age 21 and how she got a social entrepreneur grant at age 23. I think you’d be interested. Please share with your friends who might be interested in learning more about Morocco: http://www.kantaracrafts.com/Kantara.html

I study or at times think about hugging in church and hugging in public. I was at the site antiquemommy.com and there was a discussion of hugging and you mentioned visiting a church in France where the men kissed you. Is it ok to ask what kind of church it was, and in what city?
thanks!
