What’s one of your favorite things about living in Alaska?
There are so many aspects I love about living in Alaska, and they all boil down to being connected to nature. Living in Alaska has given me plenty of opportunities not only to explore the outdoors but also to reconnect with my essence and rediscover the beauty of a simple lifestyle.
Any specific hiking trails on your bucket list for this summer?
There are so many hiking trails I have yet to explore that my list is endless. However, among the few that I plan to do this year are Blueberry Knoll, April Bowl, Lazy Mountain, Gold Star Peak, and Reed Lakes.
What’s a challenge you face when adventuring outdoors here?
My main challenge when adventuring outdoors in Alaska is safety. That is why I wanted to join this club: to start building a community to continue doing the things I love outdoors while acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary to stay safe when venturing out, either with friends or alone with my dog.
