Are we too old to move to Alaska?

One of the most common questions I hear from people: "Aren't you afraid of moving up there at your age?" I'll answer that question in this video.

You are never too old to follow your dream. I moved to Alaska, finally found my dream property in 2020, still not completely dried in. Another winter w/o metal on my leaking roof. Just turned 64 last month. Came from Virginia. Didn't like the cold/ snow for same reasons. Came to Alaska after a vacation here, like you, it called me here....home. I call it "heaven's backyard !!" Ya'll will do great here !! Yes, it's hard, but you also learn that you are stronger in all aspects than you ever thought. Also, you build up your muscles, heart rate, breathing,immunity, etc. on a daily basis ! I watch some of the other AK shows, but each of you offer your own unique situation, location, and skills . I enjoy yours bc, it's 2 ladies doing this. I am a single older woman, little income, just trying to survive & live out my dream of being here. It's a struggle every day, but at least I am " living my dream" ❤instead of " rocking my way to the funeral home", 😅 !!!

@@sheilakaropchinsky6598 Thank you for the encouragement and I agree with you 100%. I am learning that things happen very slowly up there. I'm ready to take on the challenge and I am like you, I do not want to spend my golden years in a rocking chair.

@@Oursimplelife907 I know heaven will be so much better but Alaska's a pretty cool place. I have no doubt I will love it as long as I can make it through winter lol

I wish I had never made the trip. It's all I think about now!! It was a 40-year dream, and it doesn't disappoint!!!
