Welcome to Travel Media Lab! I'm your host, Yulia Denisyuk, and in this episode, we're continuing our Summer Reading Series where I share with you some of my favorite stories I've published to date.

In this episode, I'm taking you to one of my favorite places on earth: the desert of Wadi Rum in Southern Jordan. It was published in Conde Nast Traveler this year. I love this story for three reasons:

  • First, It’s based in Wadi Rum, one of my favorite places on earth

  • Second, it’s about a subject very near and dear to me which is: how we can find more silence and stillness to get better connected to the core of who we are

  • And third, it’s proof that inspiration really can come from anywhere. The idea for this story came to me while I was listening to another podcast, called The One You Feed, where the host interviewed Leah Marz and Justin Zorn about their latest book on silence. This book, and the authors, are quoted in my story as well.
