Moving to Alaska | Our Journey & Alcan Highway Tips

Are you planning a move to Alaska and trying to decide where to settle down? In this video, we break down why moving to Anchorage was the perfect choice compared to options like Fairbanks, Eagle River, or the Mat-Su Valley.

We share our personal experience navigating an out-of-state relocation, handling the work commute, and finding the right house as empty nesters. Plus, as a former commercial truck driver, we share what it's really like driving the Alcan (Alaska Highway)—from tow setups and unseen frost heaves to crossing the Canadian border with pets and long guns.
