Maria Benner and her husband Scott Clendaniel traveled from Anchorage to Turkey, Armenia, Georgia and Uzbekistan on a five-week trip.
Maria Benner poses in front of a school in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. She and her family traveled to five central Asian countries in five weeks.
Central Asia is sort of a blur for many Americans, so I was anxious to hear how Benner and her family navigated the region. “Our eight-day package for two people was $2,500,” said Benner. “That included airfare, buses, hotels and some meals.” Following their time in Turkey, Clendaniel and Benner flew to Armenia to meet up with Maria’s mother Klavdia Benner.
