More About JMAYTON
I am a journalist based in Cairo, Egypt. Currently, I am Middle East Editor at All Headline News, which means I get to cover the entire region. It is nice, as I get to travel around the region, mainly in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, but am looking to branch out on my coverage. I just spent ten days in Jordan and while many call it a boring country, I found it quite nice and interesting, with its very modern side juxtaposed with the Islamic.
