I’m glad I’ve eschewed the automobile for the delights of public transport as well, as I’m not in the least inconvenienced by today’s high gas prices and the witch-hunt that goes with a public confession of what is now termed my “carbon footprint.”
In this issue of your exclusive Lifetime Communique you can read about someone who has more time to explore other transport options since he moved to Mexico, and you can find out how to make your next international move in our upcoming events.- Tangerine dream: Your house on Morocco’s unspoiled Atlantic coast for less than $80,000

Tangerine dream: Your house on Morocco’s unspoiled Atlantic coast for less than $80,000Posted on June 10, 2008 by International Living
Paul Bowles, Jimi Hendrix, Barbara Hutton—I’m following in their footsteps in Morocco, starting off in Tangiers before exploring the north Atlantic coast.

Morocco Déjà VuPosted on July 23, 2007 by David Rich
Morocco, when I visited it some 12 years ago, in the winter of ’95, was a beggar’s paradise crammed with touts eager to harass all and sundry foreigners. I had piloted an RV over practically every road in Morocco and thought, right, I’ve been there, done that.
