WORKING IN ALASKA | My Seasonal Work Story #2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- In the second video of my series on seasonal work I talk about my seasonal job in Alaska. I had always dreamed of going to Alaska but never thought I would be able to afford it. But working in Alaska at a seasonal job allowed me to spend 4 months there and gave me the chance to experience all the things that I wanted to see and do.

I'm reposting your video on my facebook page. As a retired teacher I often hear young men say nobody will hire them. I believe that , "where there's a will there's a way. I'm going to share this with graduating students who just want to work and explore the world and life. Thanks so much and God bless you.
I saw this video about 3 years ago and it inspired me to listen to that inner voice and just go, You're journey inspired me so much so I took your recommendations to heart and a couple weeks later I was in Cooper's Landing Alaska working for Princess Cruises 5 minutes from Moose Pass, by the way it is a wonderful town. The experience changed my life and I've been traveling every sense literally enjoying every minute of it. I guess this is my way of saying thank you for showing me the path through the forest and believe me it is so much more I can say yet I'll leave it there.
Thanks again friend from far far away😇🥰😎
That is such an awesome story! I feel so blessed to have played a role in it. Thank you so much for coming back and sharing. You just made my evening :) And you are very welcome!
I worked in Yellowstone last summer and now I'm interested in working in Alaska haha just like you! I was a hostess in Yellowstone and just fell in love with seasonal work. I am currently a student and it allows me to work and see so many beautiful places while I am young! Great video I hope more people realize how amazing seasonal work is!
come to Hawaii! be a woofer-- my friend takes woofers in at his orchid farm and it is always fun to meet people from all over
I would like to come. 🙂
That sounds so lovely!!! How does one apply?

Oh my gosh I love Alaska! My sister works worked in Seward AK this summer and I got to visit her and did all the tours and cruises for free or 20 dollars. We went to fox island and did the buffet and did amazing tours with glaciers and everything. I’ve made it my goal to work seasonally and go back to Alaska!
This is all true! My brother did this 18 yrs ago and is still in Alaska!
Wow...this is so inspirational...I'm almost in tears!!! WOW! I'm only half way through...but just WOW!
Thanks! Glad my video could give you some inspiration. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and let me know.
Bunny McIntyre hey mam how are you I need job please help me out stay blessed
Bunny McIntyre I’ll give you my half salary in every month please help me
You're such a cool dude. Wow. I learned so much. It shows me that this type of thing is ACTUALLY possible. Thanks so much for posting this video.
No problem! It definitely is possible man!!!!
Man i was birn in Alaska and my family moved me to crappy Texas. Here i work a job for 6 months then quit for a couple of months and then right back to it. Your videos have made me decide to be a seasonal worker in Alaska, i think i was made fir it. Thank you
Not even done with the video yet but already grateful for it, thanks man
I've worked In Alaska for 3yrs at the Mt McKinley princess lodge! Best thing I've ever done! Hence my pic ⬅️. So many perks that come with the jobs. If you get to work for princess for 2 consecutive years, you get a "free" cruise! It's a good way to see the world!
You the man Tim. Love the videos.
Truth. I don't always take advise from the internet, but when I do...
Man thanks for the great info, I'm stoked after watching this
Bro this was an awesome and informative video!! Hope to do my first seasonal Alaska job in 2024!!
Good luck with your first seasonal job!
How'd it go??
So jealous....great in depth detail of your experience.
Thanks, Tim...You inspire me to full time RV as an adventure. These videos are hard to make with the quality you provide, mainly the oration...you do a great job.
I’ve got a phone interview with a lodge in Alaska in a couple days! I’m so excited. Your video was great
That's awesome! Good luck! 👍
@@TimothyWard - Brings memories of when a classmate would work Summer Camp in Cali while in high school--near a lake lined with mountains--and of my own Temp'ing in south AK. I might've missed the mention of which Moose Pass lodge you had stayed with? ac king - Were you able to experience seasonal?
@@TimothyWard Indian people can apply this job sar
Very cool vid man glad u enjoyed your time. Alaska seasonal work is pretty cool. Rock on
I am headed to Alaska to work seasonally for the first time and so excited! I’m going to be a glitter Gulch in Denali national Park. Love your video! I’m getting back into seasonal work after being away from it for a while.
I love your passion in this video! You are really inspiring. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!

@@d.gonzales4107 Hi, how was the job over there?
Awesome man, I’m leaving April to work seasonally in Skagway AK as a canoe guide on Glacier Point! Thanks for the info!!!
Housekeeping supervisor in Alaska for the last 3 years✋ and going back for my 4 one! Never regretted the moment I chose Alaska to work and travel!
Where are you working in Alaska?
@@TimothyWard Trapper Creek, at McKinley Princess Wilderness lodge
I found your video very educational and great example, I show it to everyone I talk to about Alaska! You describe perfectly how it is to work and live there! Alaska is huge that's why I've been going back every time I can to a different part
Awesome video and great insight. As an Alaskan resident, I've always wondered how things worked out for people who are out of state. I found one of your videos through RUclips recommendations.
man this was inspirational :D i live in Juneau and i've realized that i have lived here my entire life but ive never actually seen this place haha
Not seeing parts of Alaska is no surprise. Alaska is bigger than most nations.
Oh yeah no kidding. I remember seeing that Alaska on its own is roughly half the size of the US.
Good for you young man.The rat race is not the way to go.
I might do this this summer! I had a crazy year getting over old injuries that weren’t supposed to heal. It’s crazy all of a sudden being able to use my body again! I wanna go on an adventure and seasonal work in Alaska sounds like a blast
Wow glad i saw this!! I love to see place like this! Thank you Tim🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing this video! I am looking into seasonal work in AK this year. So excited!!!!!
You're going to love Alaska Emily!!!
Sooo inspiring. Thank you for posting!
That is good to know about seasonal employment in Alaska
Great video man! Very informative. I'm heading to Alaska this summer and looking forward to it.
I worked in Yellowstone a while back and this summer im headed out to Alaska! I am ver excited!
Nice video! I like your enthusiasm!
Hi Tim, I just got hired to work in Alaska. You have giving me sooo much confidence to take a risk and give it a shot. What do you recommend I pack as far as clothing? My contract is from April to September.
I work in anchorage.. no craz jackets or anything are needed even if your kinda remote.. but bring 1 normal one.. sweaters and pants are common. a good boot or hiking shoe is key.. itll be 50 to 70 pretty much .. rain off and on
Christopher Evers where we can apply??? What company? Could you give as information please? Thanks
@@solilumina9329 www.coolworks.com/alaska-jobs

sheila schiller hey how are you mam I need job please help me
Don't spend your $ partying & you can walk away with a small fortune.
Thanks for great explanations of working in Alaska. Great video...
Amazing video! So much info! Thanks!!
No problem!
What a cool story and very informative. Thank you for sharing
ok now I'm seeing I'm gonna look at these jobs.
If you have any questions about seasonal jobs feel free to ask!
I’m going up this April to Denali for my fourth season. I love it
Denali is on my list of places to work one summer. Just haven't got around to it yet but one day!
How do I apply
I’m going to Denali for the first time do you still go up that way?
I get to go this summer❤
Awesome! Have fun!!!
I worked in Denali Alaska in 2004 and 2006. I was a housekeeper the first summer and that was less stressful than the server position I had the next summer. The server position was much more pay though.
Hi from Finland! You are inspirational. ❤️
Thanks a lot men you gave me an awesome perspective, hope to do it next year im looking forward for it :)
No problem! I know you will love it there!
I love your videos! Thank you so much!
Great vid. Subbed!
Thanks! And thanks for the sub!
You get a like. Good videos, very inspiring. I want to work seasonally in Alaska, too.
Thank you! I say go for it. It's definitely a unique experience that I know you would enjoy and never forget.
Tim !!! I worked with you, that's my shirt you're wearing !!!!! It's me, Bobo .,😁😁😁😁😁😁 Call me !!!!
hey really cool video. I am retiring from the army next year and I want to do seasonal work. thanks for all the info in your video.
I loved this video. I went to Alaska this summer and loved it. Went on a week cruise out of Vancouver on June 21. Then we stayed over and traveled around Alaska. I’ve really considered doing travel nursing there. One of my daughters was thinking of doing some kind of seasonal work there. Perhaps we could go together and get something fairly close to one another. Do you normally do the work during summer or have you done work there in the winter? Do you know of anyone who does travel nursing there?
Great information! It's basically how to live like a millionaire (but for free)!
PATIENCE IS BITTER,BUT ITS FRUIT IS SWEET.
I've worked in Alaska last year because a friend of mine recommended me to go out there the cell phone coverage out there is horrible unless you have Verizon lol but overall it was beautiful I didn't like the company I was working for unfortunately I didn't care for the way they were treating the employees but I have found other great places to work for in Alaska when I decide to go back Alaska is a great place to go when I came back to California I was wishing I was still in Alaska lol
Reminds of my work and travel year in Japan. I worked in a ski resort in Hokkaido and got to go skiing at pretty good discount before or after work
Im gonna be doing this next year in Alaska
Go for it! Alaska is an awesome place. Spending 4 months there has been one of the highlights of my life.
yes I am ! wish me luck I appreciate it.
I started with summer jobs now I have a permanent positions 3 months off 1 month off. Remember fish processing jobs hire a shit ton of people.
Blasko xx how do I sign up?? And how much they make??
Thank you for such a valuable information 🤩
Great vid, great advice..I love here in AK and love it ❤️
Live*
Tim, thank you so much for this video! It brought me so much excitement listening to your stories. I've been reading though the comments and correct me if I'm wrong ,but there seems to have seasonal jobs year round right? Hope to hear from you!
I appreciate this video I plan on working out there in a couple of months
You are just - awesome 💛
Thank you! 😀
Kendall Wright You’re pretty 🥰
i did the tour in 2012 to Aialik Glacier & Fox Island. i also heard about how its like $20 to local workers. that is honestly one of the main reasons im considering it. i mean id go on one tour a week if i could especially now since its up to $199 a person i think.
Such a great video Tim. I was wondering how mail, and taxes are handled working seasonally. Also, do you have a storage unit somewhere? Thanks again for another great video!!
When I was in Alaska I had to rent a P.O. box for mail. At most other places you can receive mail at your job, they usually have a dedicated P.O box for employee mail. My taxes were the same, I got a W2 every year. I've never had to owe for state taxes in the different states where I worked either. And no I don't have a storage unit anywhere. All the possessions I own are in the two bags I carry with me.Feel free to ask me any other questions you have.
Timothy Ward hey is peter pan fishery Co. A good spot to work?
Wow sounds like an awesome experience! Thanks for sharing .
It was! I just wish I had taken more videos and pictures while I was there lol
Timothy Ward hii tim i m from india working in dubai i want to do job in alaska plz assest me how to get there in alaska
Hi Tim, I just stumbled in your amazing video. It is very informative. I'm a cruise liner guy and want to work in Alaska as a waiter but i just C1d visa. Want to try it in land how it goes. Thanks man
Question. is the paycheck done whichever way u prefer? such as direct deposit, a visa card paid weekly, or something else?
Most places prefer direct deposit. I’m going to work outside of Denali and I was told they only paid via direct deposit.
Beautiful photos at the end....
great video!!! Thankyou so much!!!!!
I have a question for you. I and my wife are pushing 58 years old, and my question is will any of these places hire us. Would love to see Yellowstone again and Alaska would be a dream.
I have actually worked at a number of places that will definitely hire people in you and your wife's age bracket. In fact, I think they welcome people with a little more life experience to balance all the younger people they hire. One of my favorite seasonal jobs, the YMCA of the Rockies (Estes Park) hires quite a few people 50's - 60's each and every year. jobs.ymcarockies.org/seasonal-jobs
Timothy Ward thanks because one of the places we really want to see again is Colorado. When we get ready we will have to check it out. thanks
Lots of places hire retirees.
Question. housekeeping, for example. is the work pace hectic and crazy, like it is in the lower 48?
Not as many tourists this summer (22)..
Thankyou Tim for that information. I am 57 year's old. Born in Anchorage Alaska. Lived in pa since child. After divorce had enough. Sold everything, living now on small penction each month from the marine corps in the Philippines with my wife. Working on her visa and need to get added income to make ends meet. Would love one day to get back to where i was born, perhaps this is a way to do it. Thankyou again , artie bender
Wish I could this but I'm all the way in South Africa 😥😥
I’m looking forward working in Alaska strongly.. live in Delaware 😂
Hey man, I'm very inspired by your video. My question is: I'm almost 23, I've been clean and sober for about six months, my work background is not very good and working in the rehab field is depressing. Would my work background affect getting a job in seasonal work?
Probably not since for alot of seasonal workers it's their first job and they have no work history at all
You are blessing Bro.
Cool video thanks. All your videos are cool ! Have you written an ebook on seasonal jobs and the travel/van life/ minimalism lifestyle?
Keep up the cool videos!
Thanks! No, I haven't written an e-book yet but I'm starting a blog about it. Once it's up and running I'll let everyone know about it.
I worked at Alaska Pursuit Company in 2018! In Seward Alaska!
Nice! At what location?
Timothy Ward Windsong Lodge
i love what ur doing thanks for sharing i wanna do this too :D
Any insight on how to get hired as a greenhorn deckhand for a crab fishing boat?
How much money did you leave with?
I was wondering about that also. If room and board are paid, and you make min wage for 4 mths, that is about $4,700 after taxes minus airfare/bus.
Depends on whether you get tips or not
The shifts are 16 hours. So by your third day your on overtime, making more like 16an hour. You get a lot more on 4 months.
Hey Tim really enjoy your videos. Very inspiring. Couple of questions for you. I’m about a year out before I could even consider doing this type of thing due to my son heading to college. When is the best time to start applying for a season at a location (how far in advance) and can you mention any best or favorite places you or others have enjoyed working at for its location? Thanks and great info for a less stress lifestyle in which to travel and work at the same time.
Cyndi, I usually start applying about 3 months before the season starts. For instance, for winter season which starts late Nov/early Dec I usually start applying late Aug/ early Sept. As far as favorite places to work I can recommend the YMCA of Estes Park.
Timothy Ward Thank you. I grew up in ALASKA so looking for other spots. 😀👍🏻
Were you taking a break from splitting the wood behind you when you made this?
So cool.
Very inspiring video. But just out of curiosity, how often did you get days off? Did you get the weekends off or would you put in extra hours so you could take the next day off?
Hey, do you know anyone who knows a lot about the fish processing industry?And about how much you can make in a season?
I do amtrak. Not greyhound and I don't fly. I can't seem to figure out how to get from the SW to Alaska. Anyone got any tips?
Hi Tim i 35yrs from South Africa, thanks for your stories honestly inspired. I've been eager to experience Alaska preferably fishing(deckhand) or fish industry, please can u give some tips.
Hi, what company did you work with in the fish biz? Did you have to shovel ice or lift heavy boxes? How was the pay?
Great video, i will go for the very first time i am excited and little scared at the same time but i will work as a food processor for 5to 6 wks durimg the Salmon, what do you think about this type of jobs? The offer food and room

What about working in WHSES or Factories? I know we are now under the pandemic.
Rent ? No a big space . Perhaps a studio
