Ep. 5 Crossing Borders with Courtney Miskell

Rerouted

Jun 16 2022 • 58 mins

In today’s episode I have the pleasure of sitting down with my best friend, travel companion, rodeo queen, and master scuba diver, Courtney Miskell. You’ll hear us talk about our 10 day trip to the Middle East, which began with an impromptu 12 hour excursion in Barcelona. You’ll hear Courtney talk about her conversion to Judaism, how that played a significant role in her experience, and how visiting Palestine gave her a deeper understanding of the conflict that exists between the two places. We will end by detailing what it took to cross the border between Israel and Jordan, and the amazing undeveloped scenery that awaited us on the other side. Though the sound quality is not the best (sorry, still learning over here) , and you can hear us getting a little more inebriated as the night wares on, this was one of the most fun episodes to make. It really showcases the benefits of traveling with a buddy. Not only is there safety in numbers, but travel buddies can help you get through the tougher moments of a trip and then remind you what happened later.
