Alaskans definitely have a way about them that sets them apart from all of the crowds. To live in Alaska you have to be a different kind of breed. And with that you truly do get a land full of people that have very common core interests when it comes to select lifestyle habits. Check out these 16 things that everyone in Alaska absolutely loves and get ready to let your heart skip a beat.
1. Wild Alaska seafood.
One word: DELICIOUS. Wait, two words: MOUTH WATERING.
2. Good customer service.
In Alaska, being friendly and genuine is incredibly important. We don't like snobs or rude people. Good customer service is something that all Alaskans appreciate greatly!
3. Baby moose.
Is it possible for you to look at that face and say that you don't love it? No freaking way!
4. Log cabin getaways.
Give us a log cabin, good book, hot stove and some snow on the ground and this is our definition of the perfect weekend getaway.
5. Fishing.
If you live in Alaska and you don't like fishing, we'll just say that you are in a league of your own. But the majority of Alaska residents are whole-heartedly in love with our world class fisheries.
6. The Aurora Borealis.
The Northern Lights are so rare to see in person but in Alaska we get spoiled with them frequently throughout the year (especially during the winter months). No one can deny the magic that these dancing lights behold.
7. Glacier gazing.
Staring into that piercing blue ice is one of the many things that spoil our eyes in Alaska.
8. Island escapes.
With 2,670 islands in Alaska, a good escape to paradise is something all locals can love and appreciate.
9. A full day float.
From sun up to sun down. Just you and the open water with no plans and no wi-fi to distract you from the transcending silence.
10. Catching a double rainbow.
Do it while visiting a national park and you'll probably feel your heart (and eyes) want to explode with happiness.
11. Denali.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T. You can't live in Alaska and not love Denali. It's one of our greatest claims to fame.
12. Bluebird skies.
Oh those long, dark winter months can really get to us. Until we get some stunning days filled with bluebird skies and we are... BAM, refreshed!
13. Getting lost in paradise.
The "I actually have a compass and GPS" kind of lost. Where you can totally and completely check out of reality but safely return in the evening before the bears come find you.
14. Camping.
Tent, RV or on the beach. The feeling of spending the night in nature is enough to cleanse the soul.
15. Campfires.
There is nothing quite like staying up late to enjoy a good campfire and going into work the next day with the smell still of GOOD TIMES still lingering in your hair and on your clothes.
16. Road trips.
Hitting the open road with mountain views and the occasional need to yield to the wildlife, now that is our kind of party!
