How much traveling can I do on my own?

Participants are encouraged to travel in the region before and or after the program. Flying to the Middle East is expensive and we encourage people to spend as much time as possible traveling to make their flight worth the money. During the program participants often travel throughout Israel and the Occupied Territories especially during their day off. Participants have also taken a long weekend to visit Petra in Jordan. PSE is a very flexible program and we want participants to gain as much as possible from their experience. Our only requirement is that participants discuss their travel plans with HLT staff on the ground before adventuring off and then follow any instructions or advice that HLT or MEF staff provide.
