I was thrilled to welcome Katherine into my home when she arrived in Alaska. I immediately put her work, having her sharing her thoughts in today’s post. I know you will enjoy her perspective (and post) as she adjusts to life in America. – Sheli
Last month, I uprooted my life and moved to Alaska from my home, a small village in The Cotswolds, UK. While I spent a good part of the previous three years of my life travelling around the world, actually deciding to move and live 4500 miles away from my friends and family, albeit in pursuit of a fantastic job opportunity, was pushing it even for me. From the moment the plane lifted out of London Heathrow, I have been challenged, forced outside of my comfort zone almost daily.
So, where do we genuinely want our boats to be? I know I want mine to be in the Alaskan ocean!

Welcome to Alaska, Katherine. I hope the journey finding the answers to your questions brings you in contact with many exceptional people. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Congratulations, Katherine! Welcome to Alaska.. The Greatland! 🙂 Love your message about going outside The Comfort Zone. It’s completely true! I don’t know if I ever would have found out who I truly am if I didn’t move thousands of miles away from my family, friends, and life as I knew it. So glad I did because I have an enduring and loving Alaska Family of Friends that are worth their weight in gold. Have fun exploring and creating your Alaska life and growing your own Alaska Fremily (Friends that are Family). Cheers to you!
