There is nothing quite like living in Alaska. If you’ve decided to make Alaska your home, or you’re considering a move you’re in for a treat. Everyone’s experience is different, but you won’t really know until you go. There are many things people have already heard about Alaska, or think they know, and some things that might surprise you. These are a few things we thought we would share.

If it’s always been your dream to live off the grid, you can make it a reality. There are plenty of people that have moved to Alaska with the same ambitions, and they’ve made it work. It’s important to remember that Alaskan winters are unforgiving, and you will need to be prepared. It can get expensive to live off the grid. Be prepared to spend some money investing in a power system such as a wind turbine or solar panels and battery backup systems. You will also be forced to adjust to a short growing season.
