Northbound: A Road Back to Alaska

After five long days, nearly 3,000 miles, and countless cups of gas station coffee, I finally made it home to Alaska. This blog is my raw and honest account of driving from Oregon to Alaska through sleepless nights, remote stretches with no cell service, frost-damaged highways, and moments of pure exhaustion mixed with joy. With my dog Thor by my side, I crossed mountains, forests, and endless miles of highway to return to the place that has always felt like home. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to make the drive to Alaska, from the planning to the emotional toll and the beauty along the way, this is my story.
