Welcome! I realize that I live in a place that is on most people's bucket list. Alaska is truly amazing, but it isn't all auroras and caribou.
This community is for anyone curious about real life in Alaska, whether you’re dreaming, planning a move, visiting, or already living here. We talk honestly about the seasons, costs, work, weather, isolation, beauty, and everyday realities you won’t find in travel brochures or viral videos.
Inside, you’ll find practical advice, lived experience, thoughtful conversations, and space to ask the questions. THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS! ASSUME NOTHING!
I've lived in Alaska for over 11 years both extremely rural and now, still rural, but on the road system. I am connected with people all over the state. If I don't know the answer, I'll find someone that does! Maybe even be able to connect you to people in the community you are interested in.
If you’re looking for a some insight before making big decisions, you’re in the right place.
