Be honest, visiting Alaska has been on your bucket list for a LONG time. But you haven’t made any moves to actually make a trip happen! Just thinking about planning a trip is intimidating and exhausting. For many, a trip to Alaska feels like an overwhelming dream to plan. 

I get it. One google search and you have 45 tabs open, thousands of ideas for what to do and where to go BUT no reasonable way to narrow it down into a 10 or 14 day trip that makes sense. 

You think… if I could just ASK someone who lives there, who knows the state, who has done all the major ‘Alaska’ things.

That’s exactly why I created Alaska Like a Local. 

The problem with planning a trip to Alaska

Alaska is huge and there are way too many places to go and things to do and see. You could easily spend hundreds of hours researching in order to make the perfect trip and really feel like you did it justice. Going to such a beautiful place only once puts high pressure on doing it well! That’s why planning a trip to Alaska can seem stressful at first.

But planning doesn’t have to be like that. Booking your bucket list trip should be exciting and enjoyable!

A local travel guide

Alaska Like a Local takes that initial 20 hours of research and boils it down to just a couple hours of your time. Spend 30 to 60 minutes reading it and set it down feeling confident in making decisions for your trip. 

After you read it you’ll only need to spend a couple more hours booking flights, lodging, and activities. And then before you know it… you’ll be on your way to ALASKA!

Why this guide is different

So many of the Alaska travel resources out there try to give you ALL the possible options. And it’s just not helpful because it’s so overwhelming. Or you read a bunch of different blog posts and everyone has conflicting opinions. Let me take you by the hand and tell you exactly what I tell my friends and family to do during their trip to Alaska. 

I’ve traveled Alaska for over a decade and I’ve lived here for 9 years. I’m not a travel Instagrammer that took a two week trip here and is posting dreamy footage with advice just for views. If you don’t want to take my word for it, you can check out the receipts on my Instagram.
