Travels in the Kingdom of Jordan

While living in Amman, I had the opportunity to travel in this gem of a middle eastern country. This included joining several trips with students from Jordan Applied University (JAU), which focuses on the tourism and hospitality industry, through which students learned more about the treasures of their country and how to showcase them with foreign travelers.
