Kevin McFarland Profile

We are a cross cultural family of four (5 year old son and 2 year old daughter) for the past 9 years and counting, explored over 50,000 miles along the Silk Roads and the far lands of the earth! Since August of 2024l, we have called Armenia our new home after years of traveling between Asia and the USA. We hope to forge new friendships in this small yet ancient nation while also setting up a central base to explore the Silk Roads more in depth.

While exploring far lands, researching and attempting to visit the UNESCO Sites are one of my top priorities. I fell WHS give a good introduction to a nation beyond simply what's popular, but what makes it important in a global level. It also has led to some fun adventures to reach some of the more remote sites!
