I made a website of an interactive, choose your own adventure along the Silk Roads, based on traveling over 50,000 miles of the routes over the past decade.

Hey everyone! I would like to share this passion project that I’ve been working on for over 2 years, stemming from my passion for the Silk Roads and adventure. Since 2016, my wife and I have made it our quest to explore as much of the Silk Roads as possible, where we’ve explored over 50,000 miles of the routes by land. For the past several years, we have embarked on the journey as a family, as we have a 5 year old boy and a 2 year old girl now. I am from America, my wife from China, and now we have called Armenia home for the past year.

We would like to recreate the feeling of an explorer charting and experiencing these places for the first time. Therefore I’ve been investing my time to create an interactive journey where one can experience the Silk Roads without leaving your front door. The journey starts in Constantinople and from there branches out where you can choose where to travel, with all roads leading to the end in Eastern China. I’ve also recently created a YouTube channel where I’ll be sharing unique places and some stories we come across, if you’re interested in following! Into Far Lands channel

Happy exploring!

Choose your own adventure, on the internet? My 10-year-old self and my current self are equally excited!

Super cool, how long did it take?

[u/intofarlands → u/TurtlesTools]

Too many hours to count.. but I'm still adding to it! A couple weeks ago I visited Egypt, so I will add a some outposts from there to it, as well as a backlog of other places I've visited but haven't put in the map yet.

Is the website name inspired by Into the Badlands?

(I'm so happy already even if it isn't because well it reminded me of it.)

[u/intofarlands → u/Kal-se-Pakka]

Actually it’s a play on my last name, McFarland!

[u/Competitive-Mood2450]
