In August (2019), over a dear friend’s wedding weekend, I started chatting with friends the possibility of a trip to Israel and Jordan this coming spring (2020). I love the Middle East, I spent a year living in Jordan and have been to Israel three times. I’m so excited to be going back “home” for a few weeks.

Rather than going the traditional tour route, there’s a small group of us that will “backpack” through Israel and Jordan, staying in hostel’s and Airbnb’s and taking public transport when needed. We’ve been planning the finer details for months now, but there hasn’t been much urgency, but our departure date is looming ever closer. I’ll be posting about our trip most days.
