Home

Yes, I am home. I hung out in Anchorage for a few days and decided it would probably be best if I headed home. I was happy to return home and it felt like the right thing for me. I know I can always go back to Alaska! Thanks for the support and understanding! Who knows where things will go from here...

Change

Well everyone, some things have changed in my plans. After a lot of thinking during our kayak training, I have decided that working as a kayak guide in Alaska is not for me. There were many things that were very far out of my comfort zone. I thought a lot about my decision to leave and I feel this was in my best interest. I left Seward last night. I am in Anchorage now, trying to determine what I am going to do next.

And off we go!

Hello everyone!

I made it safely to Alaska late Tuesday night. I sat with a fun couple on the plane so that made the flight seem faster. My awesome friends Matt & Erin picked me up at the airport and let me stay with them. We had a great time getting caught up! Wednesday, I spent the day with them hanging out in Anchorage and had a pretty fun time. This morning we got up early and headed down to Seward. Along the way we saw some moose and bald eagles and we even drove through some snow. It is a little chilly, windy, and rainy here in Seward.

We arrived at Sunny Cove and I was welcomed by the staff. I got a quick tour and began unpacking my things. We will be living in a yurt but there is a cabin for cooking, showering, and hanging out. It took a little while to get my things unpacked and figure where I wanted them. I am sure I will reorganize a few times to find a system that works the best.

I wanted to send out an update while I could. I am not sure how much I will be able to update and I will try to get some pictures loaded of where I am staying. Training starts tomorrow so I am sure I will be pretty busy learning a lot of things over the next couple weeks. I will update when I can!

Thanks for checking in :)

Tomorrow is the day!

I leave tomorrow! I can't believe the day is finally here. I am pretty well packed (I think!). Hopefully I have what I need, but if not, I can buy it once I get there. I will be arriving in Anchorage tomorrow night. I will spend Wednesday with some friends hanging out in Anchorage before heading down to Seward on Thursday. I can get settled into housing on Thursday and training starts Friday!

I will update you again once I get to Alaska!!
