Do you have a "Jobs" or "Careers" page?

Even if you're not hiring presently, you will someday!

If you have a Jobs page I can link to, I could give you an entry at http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/

My father visited Morocco when he was in the US Navy. I'd like to go there myself someday.

Best of luck to you.

To ask a hard questions: How did you incorporate and how do you pay local taxes? Are you in the country on tourist or business visa? Do you have local bank accounts? Most articles about nomadic lifestyles/businesses seem to leave this part out and it truly interests me.

If you're a startup catering to international clients, it's better to be registered abroad (especially when you want to move to other countries, and change of scene in the long run). In most emerging economies countries, you can get by on a tourist visa.

They worked in Morocco 10 months (https://medium.com/founder-stories/ten-things-we-believe-2c8...) but a tourist visa is only good for 90 days. I like the story and I'm glad the local authorities don't mind.
