Yeah, it'd be fun. I'd like to try spending a year there, maybe two.
If I was gonna retire there, I'd have already done it. I'm now too invested in where I currently live. So, it's not like I'm just gonna up and move to Alaska. Where I'd live, they have things like electricity and you can get internet in a few different ways, including satellite.
yeah but really in your situation you can pretty much decide where you want to spend your time and make it happen
Pretty much anywhere but North Korea, and I've applied for a visa to visit the NorKs three times.
Any other place on the planet will let me in and let me stay as long as I want. That doesn't mean I want to live in those places - but I could.
I think I picked the perfect place to retire (for me). I can see other people not getting the appeal, and maybe they'd pick somewhere else. That's fine. It's not their life, nor is it their money.
You have everything you need right where you are
Alaska is much more rural than you are
In a way, but I'd actually have more (close) neighbors. The entire villages are just 300 to 500 people, but they're in pretty close proximity.
Of course, I could live further out if I wanted. I'd definitely want to be attached to a village. Otherwise, it's just too much fucking work to survive.
Having neighbors nearby to help in case of disaster is essential in alaska
