Hello,

Sharon, I am engaged to a Moroccan man. I have been to Morocco to see him and I meet his family. I was not too concerned about my safety as I have traveled internationally on several occasions. I also have children, however I would NEVER consider taking them to morocco, especially on your first visit to a man you have never met before.

Please, I don't want you to misunderstand me; you are an adult and can take care of yourself. I suggest if you must take your daughter to Morocco, please have more than one contingency plan. Make sure you have enough money to leave without his help if you need to. Make sure you register yourself with your country's consulate (if they have one).

I felt very safe and comfortable in Morocco, but I did have an escape plan if needed!!!!!!! All went great and we are now engaged (after one year). We have turned in an application for a Fiancé visa. This process takes several months, but it gives you even more time to get to know your man and make sure he is right for you. I wish you the very best. And have fun in Morocco, it is a wonderful place, I will return. If you would like to talk more, send me your email or IM id. I would be happy to chat. Good Luck!!! : )
