My kids and I just got back from Alaska a few days ago, and honestly, I'm ready to go back. My favorite thing we did was take a bus ride to the Arctic Circle. I mean, how many people can say they've been to the Arctic Circle? I should have done more research on Denali because all we did was drive down the highway. We stopped several times for some great pictures, but we never went into the park. Next time I come back, I'm gonna go to the Anchorage area, and view Denali properly.

Congrats, Charity! July is a great time to be in Alaska. Kachemak Bay near Homer has a lot of amazing cabins and yurts. It may be hard to get state cabins as they book early out but I have some tips on my blog here: andreakuuipoabroad.com/how-to-reserve-public-use-cabins-in-alaska/. I also recommend looking into Orca Island Cabins, Shear Water Cove, and Between Beaches. Not sure where you will be traveling but you'll find all of these in Southcentral Alaska.

How's the job market and cost of living near Anchorage at the moment? What areas of Alaska are most like the Pacific Northwest weather? I'm considering the move from Washington state. Thanks 😌
@AndreaAdventures 3 жыл бұрын
If you love the outdoors then I think you'll feel right at home coming from Washington. There are plenty of jobs available right now but it always depends on what field you're interested in. Cost of living tends to be a little higher and people have been having trouble finding housing lately. Southeast Alaska is quite rainy and not as harsh, which would be similar to PNW weather. Summers in Alaska are amazing and the weather is very unpredictable.

It is nice to have list what to do in Alaska, but also, each summer, all tourists who coming in here with their own RV’s should have list called, What NOT To do in Alaska, and it’s only 1 simple thing! DON’T TRASH EACH PLACE YOU STAY! And DON’T LEAVE GARBAGE BEHIND!!! That way next person can enjoy the same place you stay! We have a lot of tourists coming each year, half of them I would ban to come to Alaska ever again! As they leave all kind of crap laying on ground, empty beer bottles, sometimes even broken, dirty diapers, empty food cans, paper towels, you name it, if you come to my state, don’t do what you wouldn’t do in your home! This message is to all tourists, who want to visit us here!
