If you're an Alaskan, then you know how important frequent flier miles are to your sanity. The only reasons I've survived in the frozen north this long are family, a wood stove, and getting out of Alaska as often as I can.
I'm an enthusiastic traveler who likes to avoid strict iteneraries. If you travel with me, be prepared for the unexpected detour, which often leads to a memorable adventure. I travel light and enjoy simple pleasures like beautiful natural scenery, delicious local food, and mingling with the townsfolk. I always have an eye out for my future idyllic home base and am happy to say I've run across more than a few candidate towns.
Sometimes I travel solo, sometimes with my husband, and sometimes with my son. My wandering companion usually flavors the trip and influences our activities, but my motto is always the same:
experience is what you make of it. Or something to that effect. Basically, I believe that memories don't make themselves and that there's no sense in waiting around for something interesting or fulfilling to happen to you. I choose to go in search of new experiences, and I always find them (though not always the ones I anticipated)!
