Our crew is busy getting ready to travel to Jordan for a two-week film shoot. I just took a break from my research. We’ll film two episodes that include horseback riding in the Wadi Rum Desert, Bedouin culture, visiting Petra, a feature on Arabian horses at the Royal Stables, the Dead Sea and more. I am so excited. Immediately after, we’ll travel back to Cappadocia, Turkey to film a second episode that includes Cappadocia, Istanbul and Turkey’s Mediterranean Coast. Stay turned for some exotic blog postings from the desert in the coming weeks!
