Scattered across West Amman in home-stays coordinated with Amideast, these students spent the summer living, studying, playing, and adventuring in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>This is the travel journal of one of those students, and gives a detailed and intensely personal account of his time there. Besides the cultural experience of living with a Palestinian family in an Arab country, it tells the story of a critical juncture in his life, and how traveling across the Middle East helped to shape his personal growth, his spirituality, and his love for a people far from his American home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kind of cheesy, but yeah. \ud83d\ude42 I hope you like it&#8211;please share it if you do!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m about to embark on another adventure, so this probably won&#8217;t be the last travel journal I do. \u00a0Who knows&#8211;maybe a year or two from now, I&#8217;ll be doing a book like this on my experiences in Georgia. \u00a0Or better yet, I&#8217;ll make it back to the Middle East and do a before-and-after. \u00a0Whatever I do, I&#8217;ll be sure to keep you guys updated frequently&#8211;so definitely stay in touch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That&#8217;s right&#8211;my travel journals from the 2008 study abroad to Jordan are now up on Amazon, Barnes &amp; Noble, and almost everywhere else! \u00a0Here&#8217;s a complete list: Kindle | Kindle UK | Kindle DE | Kindle FR | Kindle ES | Kindle IT | Nook | Smashwords | Kobo | Diesel | Xinxii | Sony&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/journey-to-jordan-is-now-up-on-amazon-and-barnes-noble\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Journey to Jordan is now up on Amazon and Barnes &#038; Noble!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[335,191,560,577,515,529,152,148,63],"class_list":["post-6993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-adventure","tag-dreams","tag-ebook-pricing","tag-ebook-revolution","tag-ebooks","tag-indie-publishing","tag-jordan-study-abroad-2008","tag-travel","tag-triumphs","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7iXK-1ON","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6993"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6993\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6995,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6993\/revisions\/6995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
