My name is Marjie Scott and I'm from Los Angeles, California. I currently live in Aqaba, Jordan with my husband, Bret, and our daughter, 21-month-old Abby. I miss home, but I'm also having a wonderful and interesting adventure here in Jordan.

    • I am thinking of taking a job in Aqbad. I am considering taking my wife, 16 and 18 year old sons. I have traveled abroad but know nothing of the middle east. Can you expound on your life there?
