Traveler Bio

Hello, future travel partners! My name is Aryanna Hyde, and I will be a student researcher in Jordan until May 2025!

Here in Jordan, I study how people use relationships with each other to address community challenges. I especially want to understand how migrants and people from outside of Jordan also learn how to use these networks. I'm so excited to introduce you to the incredible country, people, and food that are here in Jordan.

This might be the first time many of you get a chance to see the Middle East outside of the news. I hope this experience is an opportunity for you to ask what questions you have about the culture and daily life in Jordan, and what it is like to live and work here. I also hope to help you understand more about what research looks like, so please feel free to ask any questions about how research is performed. I can't wait to get to know more about you during this exchange as well!
