If you want to experince a real Alaskan way of living, I advise you to stay with Kathy & Greg. When you leave (which is hard, because leaving family always is) you will take multiple stories with you, maybe some homemade cheese, bread, caramel..., self-spun wool and all the skills these amazing people taught you.

She is an extremely hard worker, very quick learner, has common sense, is an incredibly talented artist and is ready to give anything a go!
Besides daily chores, mucking pens and loving the animals we had a test of endurance.

Nora is a fantastic person who isn't afraid to work and learn. She can see what needs to be done next and does it, she also has common sense. She has a great sense of humor, loves hunting morels and taking care of animals! I would say if she asks to come to your place accept right away!!! 100% amazing, you wont be sorry you did!
