JORDAN Travel Vlog | Jesus Was Baptized HERE (Jerash & Mt. Nebo)

We spent the last 2 days on a road trip through Jordan exploring some of the most fascinating historical sites this country is home to. We had no idea the amount of incredible sites we would see on this trip, including: the ancient city of Jarash (most well-preserved city outside of Italy), Jesus's baptism site on the Jordan river (where we were about 20 feet away from Israel), Mt. Nebo (where God showed Moses the Promised Land), and SO MUCH MORE. Of course lots of delicious Jordanian food was involved. We ended the day at the Dead Sea where we will float tomorrow. :)

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

For me, as a Christian, this was one of the most emotional videos you’ve done. How amazing to be in these places. And the quality and colors of all the mosaics is a bit mind blowing.

Wow, Jordan is amazing, so much history! I love hearing how the Muslims and Christians coexist so peacefully. That sunset over the Dead Sea was simply beautiful! ❤ I have learned so much about Jordan from these vlogs, they are wonderful!

I think so many Americans believe that we should not travel anywhere near the Middle East right now, but you are showing us that so many places are still accessible and relatively safe. Jordan looks amazing and there is no chance of going hungry anytime soon. Your lunch in the restaurant looked beyond delicious. The raw meat reminded me of what I saw in Germany (raw beef with onions on bread.) I am sure it tasted really good with a hint of cinnamon, which is common as a savory spice in that part of the world. I just love watching you both and enjoying your adventures/food tours along the way.

"Jesus was here! Right here! And now were here!" Kara's too precious. 👏😂

[sarahratliff]

This has to be my favorite video you guys have shared so far of your travels! It really is amazing to see where Jesus was baptized and the footage of Mt. Nebo! Thank you for sharing!

I was married to a Jordanian in the 80s, and I experienced the same thing when I visited Amman. We would go see members of his family and the food that they would make was so incredible that I could not resist just eating until I was going to explode. I have never experienced that anywhere else in my life and it is truly remarkable about the food in Jordan. Luckily, in the United States, his family ran a falafel shop, and my husband knew how to cook every one of those dishes you just ate, and so now I do too. I left him when he started hitting me, which was actually pretty inevitable. He was the first son of nine children in a very rich family, and not getting his way wasn’t something he was really used to lol. Despite all that, it was a very enriching experience until it wasn’t, and I am thankful for it. It really introduced me to international travel and unusual food and many things which have been a part of my life ever since.

I just got back yesterday from taking my family to this beautiful country. We did all the things in your videos and loved our trip so much! Thank you for doing what you do. I experienced many different paradigm shifts while on this trip, the most relevant being, I often see your travel videos and only see the beauty and thrill of traveling, but you do such a good job sharing the beauty that it is easy to forget the hard work, and the extremely difficult challenges that you both face throughout your life of full time travel. I appreciate you guys at a whole new level, I know it is not easy, and any luxury experiences that you enjoy are well deserved. Thank you for sharing the world with us, and doing it with beauty and joy! We love you guys and appreciate your sacrifice!

[elizabethlarose]

I had tears in my eyes at the point you were telling us about Jesus and Moses meeting at that beautiful vista. Thank you.

[reenam]

I feel so lucky to have found your channel! You both are simply adorable and raw in your journey and that’s what I love the most. I might not be able to see the whole world myself but I feel like I am still able to do so through your eyes! Lots of love from Atlanta, Georgia! 🍀

[linneas]

Definitely adding Jordan to my travel bucket list now! Loved seeing all the historical places I’ve read about in the Bible!

[FireCracker]

Absolutely incredible. I never thought I would ever see places (in person or in video) that Jesus lived. When you were showing all the land @ 7:15, I can actually imagine Jesus and his disciples walking on that land. Without a doubt, unbelievable. Thank you SO much for sharing this special, sacred place with us. 💕💕

[arlenesolis]

I have to eat before I see your vlog. Definitely delicious dishes. I love the cat in the background lol I think he was waiting for someone to drop something. Amazing picture. Beautiful views. The church with it mosaic is just sublime. Thank you again for bringing the world to us. I love how much you expose the many cultures from around the world to us. I only wish everyone has the attitude you guy have towards other cultures, how much you respect it and bring to light.

[PurpleHaze]

I teared up when you said Jesus was right here. If I was there I would be kneeling & sobbing.

Wow!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Omg that roundabout with the plane is literally like 5 mins away from where I live!! I loved your video guys and it's amazing to see people have fun and enjoy Jordan regardless of what is being said in the media! Thank you for showing the world how beautiful Jordan is and I'm literally gonna binge watch your channel 😂😍 you guys are so nice and respectful..

[Nightmare-ehrd]

I used to live in Jordan and now I go there ever year to see family. I have seen every thing. 🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴❤️❤️❤️

[shehabkataya]

I'm so glad to hear that you've been to Jerash (my home town) ... My wife and I live in Finland or else we would've invited you over and showed you the real experience of the Main Traditional Jordanian Food which is Mansaf if we had still been there ... Hope we will be able to meet you guys in Helsinki ....

[jennareynolds]

Wow... one of my favorite vlogs yet. It actually made me emotional. How incredibly special to see the promise land and to basically stand where Jesus stood. Amazing

[aventador]

This was cool! I would've never expected this in Jordan. Definitely adding it to my bucket list!

[DelightfulTravellers]

You're killing us with all this food! Clearly we have to get Jordan next... wow! - Trevor
