This Alaskan Journey podcast episode I talk with Kaden, who moved to Eagle River, Alaska with his family nearly two years ago. Kaden discusses the pros and cons of living in Southcentral Alaska after nearly two years, focusing on community life, outdoor activities, schools, and the challenges of Alaskan winters and summers. He ultimately gives a positive review of his Alaskan experience. Highlights 🏔️ Stunning Scenery & Outdoor Recreation: Kaden raves about the abundant opportunities for hiking, camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities, emphasizing the beauty of the landscapes and the ease of accessing nature, even near Anchorage. 🐻‍❄️ Wildlife Encounters: Kaden shares numerous positive encounters with wildlife, including moose, lynx, and black bears (from a safe distance!), showcasing the unique aspects of Alaskan living. 🏡 Community & Schools: He speaks highly of the welcoming communities in Eagle River and Anchorage, particularly mentioning the supportive veteran community and the positive experience with his children’s school. ❄️☀️ Seasonal Adjustments: Kaden details the significant differences between Alaskan winters (lots of snow, darkness) and summers (lots of sunlight, potential for sleep disruption). He notes that his children adapted well to both seasons. 🤔 Location Considerations: Kaden shares his ongoing internal debate about the ideal location in Southcentral Alaska, weighing the pros and cons of Anchorage, Eagle River, and the Mat-Su Valley. He highlights the trade-offs between convenience and peacefulness.
