About

I am Employed.
My expat journey
Jerusalem, Morocco
Amman, Morocco
Casablanca, USA
I wish to open a small, healthy fast food restaurant either in Casa, Rabat, or Marrakesh.
Currently a soldier and always a business man.
The healthy food, beautiful people, and majestic country with spectacularly unique and exotic architecture.
Lack of English speakers. LOL And no strong standards/enforcement of food stalls preparing and cooking foods in the Souks = food poison.
Amman, Jordan
Beirut, Lebanon
Busan, South Korea
Sarajevo, Bosnia Herzegovine
Split, Croatia
Belgrade, Serbia
Frankfurt, Germany
Basque Country, Spain
Mexico City, Mexico
Limassol, Cyprus
