A very interesting interview, thank you Mark and Jeff. I completely agree with having travel insurance for visiting relatives from overseas...visiting the usa or even, in my case, Australia. Nobody expects a situation to arise...but you don't want to be THE one picking up the tab.

"We have friends in Anchorage, would like to move 'DOWN' there" - thought that was funny. I lived in Yellowknife NWT from 19 to 29, before immigrating to the States. But, winter is a young mans game.

Just a few comments… Teacher school year is great. 2 1/2 months off a year with pay. My sister who is also a 4th grade teacher told me that although she won’t get SS when she retires, she’ll instead get a pension equal to her working pay. My wife was recently unemployed here in CA. for 6 months. Instead of temporary Cobra health insurance she applied for California Care. The first month's bill for her and our 2 sons was $97 (no unemployment payment received yet). When she received the benefits, the bill was $297 a month. She had a hysterectomy outpatient surgery during this time and the invoice paid by insurance was 118K. Her portion was 2300. Travels yearly to the Phils with entire family and stays for months. Inlaws have 10 year multi entry visa USA. Awesome. Check out the Zillow home prices in Hailey, ID and Santa Barbara where his dad has a home…

Santa Barbara home prices are crazy! One of the reasons I moved to Alaska...

Great interview! Thanks 🙏 What was the name of the insurance that you bought for your in-laws visit to the USA ?

Its probably a lot harder for her to westernize when she's 200 miles above the Arctic Circle. LOL Alaska is supposed to be a really tough dating scene for guys so glad it worked out.
@Jeff-bg1dt3 ай бұрын
Yes, I agree, although we have traveled extensively as well. There are now more women here than several decades ago, so I would think the dating scene would be better now.

Interesting interview I could not live in such a cold climate but this guy likes it. Thai taxi drivers too ?

Many/most of the Thai taxi drivers' families were originally from Laos...

I’ve seen a lot of immigrants working in the canning factories. Many women from the PI.

There are many Filipinos in Barrow, which made the transition easier for my wife, and she has made many good friends. The canneries are in places like Kodiak Island and other areas down south. Yes, there are lots of Filipinas in Alaska!

How does he afford a Hummer on a teachers salary? Lol. 😮😮
@Jeff-bg1dt3 ай бұрын
Teacher salaries on the North Slope are high, plus other benefits like housing and good insurance. My wife also works. I would recommend teaching up here if you can handle the climate and the remoteness. It's not for everybody.
