Alaska Independent Travel
Ordinary Adventures is all about loving your place and loving the places you visit and having the most local experience possible as a traveler. I lived in Alaska for seven years while working as a tour guide and as a manager in the travel industry. I still visit regularly because it’s a place I love and have so many dear friends to visit.
I share the most up to date information on Alaska independent travel for visitors! I’m also passionate about helping travelers experience Alaska on a budget.
Join me to journey through Alaska’s glaciers, mountains, coastal waterways, interior tundra, National Parks and more.
