Jordan
In November 2023, I joined my brother Charlie on an unforgettable adventure in Jordan, combining archaeological research with exploration of some of the country’s most iconic sites. From the bustling streets of Amman to the quiet desert expanses around Quesir Amra, the trip was filled with history, self-reflection, and fascinating encounters. We explored Jerash, with its stunning Roman ruins, and spent two days at Petra, where the ancient site’s breathtaking beauty lived up to every expectation. Wadi Rum offered us a memorable balloon ride, and our evenings in Petra were highlighted by incredible thunderstorms. From the challenging drives through the desert to quiet moments of introspection, Jordan was one of my most enriching and adventurous experiences yet.
