If you love snow, nature, mountains and animals, you have to go to Alaska! We did the trip with six girls and it wasn’t that expensive at all for us. Sharing the costs is always a good way to save money. You have to know that the activities are more expensive then another vacation. I would love to go in the summer to, because that’s more fun to hike and be more outside.

Female solo traveller visiting Alaska from the UK. Stayed in mainly hostels to save money on excursions as they are quite expensive. I felt safe and everyone was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Hired a car using TURO for the first few days of my trip, 1st time I’ve done this and couldn’t fault it and was much cheaper than normal car hire companies. Itinerary Anchorage Girdwood Whittier Seward Eagle River / Hatcher Pass Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Talkeetna Alaska Railroad from Talkeetna to Fairbanks. I highly recommend the Gold Star service. Excursions Blackstone Bay Jetski Tour (from Whittier) Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise 7.5hr Real Alaska Tour (Seaveys Ididaride) Northern Lights Tour (Fairbanks)

As a black woman who keeps to herself, it's a good place to be if you're looking to travel here for the nature or nightlife or even to live. There are a few seedy places to avoid, but overall the town is on the smaller side and people generally look out for each other.
