Ben Fogle, the ever-intrepid adventurer, continues his exploration of unconventional lifestyles in “New Lives in the Wild” this Tuesday. This week, he journeys to the stunning Moroccan coast to meet a family who’ve carved out a unique existence amidst the rugged landscape.
Mark, a former army officer, and his Argentinian wife, Ayelen, have called Morocco home for 17 years. Along with their two young children, they live in a house they built themselves, a testament to their resourcefulness and resilience.
Ben spends time with the family, learning about the challenges they faced constructing their home and the ongoing struggles they’re facing with increasing drought conditions. It’s a story about adapting to the rhythms of nature, embracing a slower pace of life, and the unexpected hurdles that come with choosing a life off the grid. Join Ben Fogle on this Moroccan adventure, airing Tuesday, March 18th at 9:00 PM on Channel 5.
