Remote Life Alaska
Hello!
Welcome to our journey.
We have decided to take our small family on a big change. Moving from city life in Wisconsin where everything is given to you, to the off grid life in Alaska where everything takes time and lots of hard work. Our goal is to appreciate everything we have, and build a life we are proud of.
In only one years time we managed to deal with an unexpected amount of challenges where our grit and determination was tested. Within this first year we also learned we were expecting and welcomed our daughter into the family. If there is one thing we have learned so far it is to expect the unexpected. Let's see what happens next!
