TRAVEL DOCUMENTARIES
EGYPT & JORDAN
I went backpacking around Egypt & Jordan for one month by myself.
Egypt & Jordan are undoubtedly on most people's travel bucket lists, but I've always had the impression that the majority of people travel there on an organised tour.
So I wanted to give it a go by myself and see what it was like booking everything on the go, treating it like a normal backpacking trip.
