My first day exploring in Alaska Jan 1, 2022

And I sat there thinking about it for a while, and then I was like, okay, let's just go slow. I should be able to do this. I started driving, and it was fine. It wasn't a bad drive, but there was so much snow and so much ice, and it was so cold. And going slowly, I was able to make my way down the seward highway, and I was just amazed at the view

And it's super inspirational and definitely makes Alaska sound incredibly beautiful. So thanks for recalling that first day over a year ago now, which is wild. But thanks for taking us back to that moment and reliving it here with us all. And it was super refreshing to kind of hear your story and learn a little bit more about the way Alaska works and the sunsets and the timing and everything

I'm a travel nurse and that's how I get a lot of these contracting beautiful places. But I just recently started my own travel business and part of the thing, I scout different locations and I take all these pictures. But of course I'm no expert. I'm just kind of an enthusiast. I bought my first drone and I can't figure out how to work it

It's the word upper, the underscore, the number one, the underscore, and podcast. Also, if you have any questions, if anybody wants to know about Alaska and has any direct questions for me. After living here 30 some years, I actually moved up here two months after the oil spill in 89. Actually, I moved back up here. I lived here two years back in the early 80s, but my email is the same. Upper, underscore, one underscorepodcast@yahoo.com

Even though I have worked there for a whole winter in the past, and I've visited a couple of times since then, I'm really nervous about driving from Chicago, and I'm driving alone. So, yeah, I'm really excited to be working in Alaska over the summer because I want to experience Denali and how everything looks in the summer. I want to see bears. I want to see the wildlife. I want to see everything

But I would absolutely enjoy to have you as a guest on the podcast. Unfortunately I am in Eagle River and I don't know what your travel plans are and when you would have time. So if you would like to email me or message me on Facebook, the email is upper underscore one podcast@yahoo.com just to let me know your schedule and if you're going to be coming through and have time. So I hope to hear from you. Have a great day and a great weekend. Bye
