Go to Alaska. Don’t take a cruise.
If you want to fish go to Sitka. You get 14 miles of paved road and both ocean and mountain experiences in one. Call up Captain Xander and take a boat taxi to old WWII bunkers full of asbestos and drop a some fishing lines on the way home.
If you want a more urban experience and the ability to drive for hours and see a million things, fly to Anchorage and drive down to the kenai peninsula. Then stop in WaIlla to see the vagina statue outside the local high school and Sarah Palin’s former residence.
Oh and don’t go to Seward. Textbook definition of a shit hole city.

go during moose birthing season (May) because they are everywhere and you can work on your ninja skills of always being aware of your surroundings. The sun does crazy things here.
everyone has a good story of how they’ve ended up here (or why they’ve stayed here for generations).
good camping. Good hikes. Lots of birds.
Same maddening anonymity as New York City but with huge mountains.

take the scenic windy road with some waterfalls to a small college town with all the trappings (good local coffeeshops, wine bar, beer)
Also if its nice outside, grab a bite on the Cheyenne Crossing porch — feels like a local Dakota style Cracker Barrel

Listen the big city is cool and all, but people are sleeping on small town living. Next level would be to find a tiny ass town right outside of a smaller city for when you need a dose.
Your money goes further, your fits, no matter how ”out-dated”, are always cooler, and frankly, quiet daily life is a luxury more people should try.

Been a fatty my whole life and decided to invest in personal training this year. Learn from muscly gym bros that make you feel small just by looking at them. It makes you strive for greatness and exceed new heights.

Some of us are getting old, and it’s time to revisit our past lives (our childhood/youth). I’ve had so much fun listening to old warped tour bands and seeing who held up and who didn’t (spoiler: underoath and Norma Jean still rock). Make your favorite childhood meal. Go watch your favorite childhood show on YouTube. remember your youth and enjoy how far you’ve come.
