nikoline was indeed excellent -- capable, cheerful and a pleasure to be around. being a second cousin, thrice removed, of tottenham's own christian eriksen made her a bit of a celebrity in clam gulch, but even so, nikoline got down and dirty with us commoners in all our daily chores. she is everything you would hope even a friend would be -- easy… read more

Gus & Emily will open their door to their rustic, off the grid world and a real Alaskan experience. Emily is an… read more

it was a real pleasure to host aurore. she is "practically perfect" in every way in the workawayer sense -- with the added bonuses of loving the dogs and being able to do every task & do it well. & i realize it is a bit of a steeotype for the swiss but she is also very knowledgeable about watches and chocolates. aurore is pleasant to be around,… read more

here in clam gulch we like living the good life, or as some call it "la vida loca". erik fit right in and was a great addition.

august is a great month to be here -- the tourist hordes from the summer have packed up and gone somewhere else (iowa?) and the meancing winter is not yet fast approaching. it is a lovely time.

there are pros and cons to every workawayers visit. for antoine, it was 99% "pros". he was an excellent guest and capable worker. fast learning too

the other 1% was the fact he is french and france won the world cup. as an england supporter, i never heard the end of giroux's scoring prowess & 'les bleus'

The place is simply amazing. You have a nice cabin for yourself. And a new outdoor shower !
The food is very good, it is only local meat or fish with vegetables grown in the garden. There usually are two meals. One in the morning and one in the evening. The breakfast is one of the best thing I have ever eaten in my life !
Bring some snacks… read more

To stay at this very unique, cozy and peaceful place is the best thing I did so far! I love traveling but have never been to a place like this before. I’m still overwhelmed by the beautiful nature and the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. In addition to that, Gus is one of the most interesting people i’ve ever met. He‘s a honest and very… read more

lea arrived at the start of a very cold and snowy november and jumped right in. it may have been a tough transition coming from urban germany, but lea made it work. she even came to play late-nite poker with the boys. after alaska's frigid temperatures, i think she was ready for some warmer climes!

Actually I don`t know where I should start because it was so beautiful in so many and different ways! I was there for about 3 weeks and I enjoyed every single day of it. All dogs are so cute and lovely to each other but also to you. This was my first fear that they won`t come to me or don`t like me but it wasn`t like that. I spent so much time… read more

when we have a december in alaska like we just had (unseasonably warm & snowless at lower elevations) -- all bets are off in dog mushing.

jakob had the unfortunate luck of visiting us during one of alaska's (becoming more regular) winter thaws. for us, that means a scramble moving dogs to more wintery locations. but he made the best of it and… read more

ali is a real go getter. alaska might as well be his second home because he fit right in. he spent a couple weeks with us "roughing it" in dogland & then helped housesit a friend's mansion where he enjoyed unlimited wifi & hot showers! don't forget us when you hit the big time, ali!!!

It has been a privilege to live off the grid for a little while. Gus and Emily are simple people who knows how to appreciate the little things. They are honest and funny (really funny). Everything is about dogs. To enjoy yourself there, you basically have to love dogs and know how to start a fire. Most of the time, I was alone during the day and I… read more
