The quality of this video is making me question my life choices and I want to spend my money seeing the world instead of spending on materialistic things. So beautifully shot! 😍

Alaska has been my home for the last 15 years. And even now, you never get use to the beauty and adventure it offers. I love this state.

Dear Allison- I literally just started watching the 1st few seconds of this video, and my jaw dropped and stayed there. You have such talent! Words can’t even express how impressive this videography is. Thanks for sharing with all of us here on YouTube!

[elleneastwood]

Your footage is STUNNING! You could absolutely be a Nat Geo photographer! #inspired

As someone that was raised in Alaska and hasn't been back in nearly 20 years, this video tugs at my heart strings. You really don't realize how amazing it is when you're always there, but when you're gone, you sure do miss it a lot. I've lived in places that are very beautiful, but Alaska is next-level special. It's a joy to see someone who has a high expectation be blown away by it still. Thank you for sharing your trip!

I've been struggling with insomnia, but this video has been a great way to relax and fall asleep. The soothing music and peaceful imagery are just what I need🙂🙂

I’ve been living in Alaska for 13 years and you just made me remember how beautiful my state actually is, it even made me emotional. So thank you so much!

[DanielIles]

As an Alaskan myself I can honestly say you got a beautiful experience but there is still so much to explore up north! Incredible video!!

I worked on Cruise ships for 11 years and visited Alaska every summer. Out of all the places I visited during my time at sea, Alaska is the place that stands out the most. There is something just so special about Alaska.

This is by far the most beautiful vlog you have ever put together, and I've been following you for years. This scenery, the music you chose, everything. I hope one day I get to see places, damn my student debt.

Bruh . I would probably cry listing to such beautiful music and looking at the beauty of Alaska with my own eyes on a boat

I'm from Costa Rica and I love when I find videos of people talking wonders about this country. It really fill us with joy knowing somebody enjoys it so much visiting this places.
Thank you very much for this amazing video.

People make these trips to see Alaska makes me happy, cuz I've lived here and born here. Proud Alaskan Grown. 😇

Alaska has always been a bucket-list trip of mine and it BLEW ME AWAY. Where's the most beautiful place you've been?

[wilkowanders]

Thanks so much for your video on Alaska, I have always wanted to visit. As its so far away from the UK I find it so intriguing.

I am originally from Alaska, you captured my home state beautifully!

Watched this video last year, 2023, and planned to visit Alaska.

Now, I'm watching this again from Anchorage, Alaska. Thanks for this beautiful video. Alaska is a city of joy and a stress free lifestyle.

I keep getting recommended this video (literally for months) so I finally clicked. Anyway, in 2018 my grandmother took me and my entire family on a trip to Alaska that she payed for with her own money. I way 14 then and it was one of the first trips that I really remember. It was from Vancouver to Anchorage as well and we has a truly magical experience. In Ketchikan we snorkeled and a humpback whale came and hung out with us (the guides said that in the 10+ years they had been open it had never happened). In Juneau we kayaked in front of the Mendenhall glacier and sea lions came and played right next to us. Later, we went on a whale watching cruise and saw a humpback whale breech out of the water. Then a pod of 20+ orcas came right next to us. Babies and all. We saw seals and to top it off, a double rainbow. In Skagway, we went zip lining and drank water from a glacier. We saw glaciers calving and baby bald eagles. We saw baby otters and so many other beautiful things. It was so magical and I don’t think anything will ever top it. Especially because not two months after, my grandmother was diagnosed with ALS. Which is a horrible disease and soon after she couldn’t talk or eat any longer. My Grandmother passed away two weeks ago now and I think about that wonderful week in Alaska every day. She did so much for me when she was alive and now that she’s gone she is still supporting me in every way. I’m not rich and neither was she, but since she grew up in the 50s and 60s for the first 20 years of her marriage she did not work. But when my mom moved out of her house she got a job and saved every penny of it. With that money she was able to travel all over the world and experience so many things. She also was able to gift $40, 000 to each of her grandkids for college. (There are 5 of us). Because of her I can go to college. Because of her I love photography. Because of her I am going to be an exchange student going to Austria. Because of her I realized my dreams and now I am following them. It hurts that she’s gone but because of Alaska she will always be with me. Traveling isn’t about the places you go and the things you’ve seen. I’ve been to 30 US states and i know full-heartedly that none could ever compare to Alaska because I was able to go there with her. Alaska was the last time she was whole - she could speak and eat and laugh and walk, ALS hadn’t taken her from me yet. Because of Alaska I can remember her as she was before ALS. Sorry about this rant, I just really got caught up in good memories watching this video.

Watching this got me emotional. This is amazing. I hope the nature stays preserved for years to come. Thank you for capturing this.

This was stunning! I was on an Alaskan cruise in Sept 2019 and it was the best, most soul fulfilling experience. I just love Alaska and my soul needs to go back!
