My Marrakesh (blog) - The Story of An American Family Setting Up Home in Morocco

By: Holly Becker, decor8
Care to travel to Morocco for a bit? Visit my new friend Maryam, an American transplant in Marrakesh, who started blogging about her experience living in a foreign land. Fascinating! My Marrakesh tells, "The bemused tales of an American family's quest to design, build, and decorate a guest house in Morocco. Life, culture, style, shopping. And a couple of belly dancers thrown in there for good measure...."

I find the subject matter she posts quite fascinating, since she is embarking on a major project (guest house construction), while working full-time and raising a family. Her personal journey documents her life there, along with a good dose of  shopping and style sprinkled in. My Marrakesh is designed to take the reader into the life of an expat making her way in North Africa, and what a tale she tells!

I first fell in love with Morocco when I read about it in an issue of Travel + Leisure magazine when I was only 18 years old. Marrakesh is an amazing design destination that has inspired artists and designers all over the world.

Maryam blogs on a regular basis, her posts friendly and engaging, as she talks about her life on new soil. She hopes readers will provide advice and opinions as she makes important decor and gardening decisions for her family's guest house, the Persian Garden Pavillions. You'll see the whole process unfold before your eyes - from the day the concrete is first poured to the moment her first guest arrives.
