ALASKA

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”
– Ibn Battuta
The sky is illuminated with the colors of a rainbow as the Northern Lights grace Sitka, Alaska with their truly awesome presence.

If you do not believe in magic, you have never been to Alaska. I feel it the moment I step off the plane, every time I visit Alaska. It is like nothing else I have ever experienced. The air, the water, the lush landscape, the marine life, the knowing ravens, the wise old-growth forests; it is magical.
I crave it when I am not there. I feel it calling me.
