JORDAN 27 Nov to 5 Dec - Have Car, Will Travel!

Hello all,

Here is my itinerary for Jordan. I will have a car for the entire time -- so if anyone's trip coincides with mine and would like a lift and share costs/save some cash, and possibly sightsee together, please let me know. I have booked most of the hotels etc., so I am beginning to be a bit inflexible on departure/arrival times -- that said, I still have some margin built into the trip. Even if you don't need a lift, if you're in the area at the same time, give a shout -- always happy to meet a friendly face. I'm particularly keen to see if anyone is interested to come on the camel ride/camping in Wadi Rum. Cheers!

FRIDAY 27 NOV
Arrival 9h50a at airport (terminal 2). Pick up car. (the following itinerary for friday is not necessarily going to be in that order)

Namaste,
I am a fun loving, artistic & experienced 33 year old world traveler. i arrive to Trivandrum, India on Dec. 7th. Looking to connect with another traveler to explore the area for a week or two while I'm there. This will be my fourth winter to India, but I've never explored any place south of Goa. I like to live spontaneously in the moment & go with the flow. A lot of preplanning is not required. If you are interested let me know a bit about yourself.
