Do you see a lot of wild animals?Just the other day I saw a mamma moose and her baby calf walking across the road. I was about a block from my house. At least once or twice a year a moose, or two, or three will come into my yard. In the winter they will come looking for something to munch on, especially if we've had a lot of snow and all the willows are buried.

What about earthquakes? I lived in Anchorage during the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake. Mostly though the earthquakes are so small and occur in unpopulated areas. I'd be more worried if I lived in California than I do living here, even though the 1964 earthquake was the largest one in the 20th century.

Can you grow a garden in Alaska?I have grown many gardens. It's important to choose the right variety of seed that will grow well in Alaska's special temperature, daylight, and soil.

Do you think I can find a job in Alaska? I recommend you do a lot of research before you come. I have some additional information on this page..

Are there good schools in Alaska? My experience with Alaska schools has been very positive. However, it depends on where you live in Alaska. When I wanted to teach my children at home, I received all the materials I needed as well as support from the School District. This is great for families that live in the bush or who travel during the school years.

What's a stuffed puffin?I was making a list of all the things around my computer and I mentioned I had a stuffed puffin on top of my monitor. "What's a stuffed puffin?" I was asked. A puffin
is the North American equivalent of a penguin. A lot of people associate penguins with Alaska, but penguins only live at the South Pole, oh, and the San Diego Zoo, of course.
I have a stuffed animal that looks like a
puffin sitting on my monitor.
