I came to Alaska from Alabama because of some of the reasons listed here. I came for a job but I liked the less insects, no snakes, and cooler temperatures than Alabama. I left Alabama in October with 80+ temps and had my first Alaskan snow two weeks later and the snow is still here. 😄 A 40 degree is so much warmer to me than when it’s in the 20’s. I do miss the longer days of sunlight but it makes me appreciate the beautiful sun on my lunch hour. It made me giddy last week from being in the sun for an hour. Since my accent is a giveaway I’m not from around here it’s opened the door for great conversations with people. Everyone has been kind and welcoming face to face. They don’t care for my slower driver in the snow even in the right lane. I just wave as they throw slush on me as they pass me going 50mph for 500 feet before the red light catches us. 🤭
That’s literally why we want to move. We are SICK of the Texas heat. Currently traveling full time for a year but afterwards anchorage is calling our name
Jamin, I am looking and planning to move there, but currently I am taking care of my father and when this part is over, I will be there. I currently live in East Texas
Lol I order Door Dash a lot and nobody can seem to open the door to my building. I was standing at the door and told my wife "Whats up with Alaskans not knowing how to open doors?" The driver heard me and said "I'm from Texas." I said "that doesn't make it better!". Lol
There is pros and cons in every state it is just what people are looking for if they decide to move. There is a tradeoff warm year-round versus minimal warm and then cold and ice. You talk about snakes in Texas at least they give warning, but a grizzly bear does not give that out. I truly think if people want to move to Alaska is visit Alaska in the summer and winter to get the feel of the layout. Then if they feel it is a good fit so, be it. Blessings
Great video Jamin. 😊. I had a snake greet me on my deck as I let our dog out. You never get used of those things. Absolutely can’t stand them!
Only scenery in TX I ever seen was the bats coming out of the bridge in Austin.
Recently moved to the Kenai Peninsula from Missouri. No regrets for us. We love it up here!

It is super bright here.... I always thought it was all in my head.
Nope! That is cold (hot?) hard reality.

Where can you live with the most evergreen trees I don’t like the dead sticks🙏🏽
Maybe an evergreen state?
Probably southeast Alaska. We have more spruce up here.

@@Landonmoto39 being a smart 🫏 doesn’t help but thanks

I am from Ohio but my question is : What NO snow in Texas?
Good evening.I want to come to Alaska for job how can you assist me
Last frontier
but then I couldn't grow tropical fruit :(
TPDR... NO, you shouldn't.
It's hard, its cold, it's brutal, it's expensive, youll be alone. Stay in the lower 48 where your safe, and life is easy.
I say In and out burger..😊
Texas… worked a job there once.
