WE QUIT OUR JOBS and are MOVING TO ALASKA!!!

In this exciting video, we announce that we've quit our jobs as international school teachers to become full-time YouTubers. We're moving to Alaska with an epic road trip from Key West, Florida to Dead Horse, Alaska, creating the USA's longest road trip. 🌴➡️❄️

Moving back to Alaska has always been a dream. We'll share our new life in Alaska, including the unique lifestyle and breathtaking landscapes. Our cross-country drive will take us through some of the most stunning parts of the USA, making this family road trip unforgettable. 🏞️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Follow our journey as we travel from Florida to Alaska, document life in Alaska, and offer tips for anyone considering a move to Alaska. We quit our jobs to travel the world, and this move is just the beginning of our adventure. 🌍✨

Alaska vlogs always do well. The food shopping vlogs always do well. I’m from the UK and I watch a lot of families in Alaska. You’ve obviously popped up on my YouTube because the title says ‘Alaska’
People are so intrigued by Alaska and the lifestyle, smaller villages, etc. Good Luck guys. I’ve subscribed

WOW! What a surprise! I was just thinking recently after your last video, in regards to the kids. Like they are growing up real quick and have not been living in the States, also about high school and college etc...I think it's a good time to go home to Alaska now. A new chapter for both of you and your lovely kids! All the very best! Love from Singapore ❤

That sounds like an epic plan.
It would be lovely to see you bring the kids on a history field trip to the UK and mainland Europe in the future.
Good luck with everything the future holds.
