    Asia Travel

    Visiting Asia was one of the highlights of my life. My first trip was to Indonesia where I spent two weeks seeing the laidback island of Gili Trawangan, explored Papua and Raja Ampat, and even learned about the traditional games of Indonesia. It was an epic experience!

    A couple of years later I went back to Asia on the Holland America Maasdam visiting six countries starting with one day in Singapore, taking a Thai cooking class in Bangkok, and even spending a day in Hong Kong.

    My last big trip was to a very different part of Asia, in the Middle East. I spent four wonderful days in Amman Jordan where I learned to make traditional foods like red pepper dip. Exploring the ancient ruins of Jerash Jordan was incredible and floating in the Dead Sea was on my bucket list.

    Participating in this Thai cooking class in Bangkok is great way to learn to prepare Thai dishes at home as well as give back to locals in need.

    A stay at Feynan Ecolodge provides an immersion into Jordanian life. This was one of my favorite stops during my visit to Jordan.

    Touring the historic ruins of Jerash in Jordan was a fascinating experience, and a must when visiting this Hashemite Kingdom.
