Thank you, I have seen so many negative posts about Alaska. I moved here 3 years ago and love it.
I do too! Let's continue spreading positive rumors about Alaska :)
I know this video is old but thank you so much for filming it! Very helpful and I love your personality 💜
Thank you! I enjoy sharing and showing off Anchorage in hopes more people will see a different side from how Alaska is portrayed on television :)
@@LifeAfter50withTerree I agree! It is so much more than snow! Summers are so stunning! Thank you for doing what u do!
"We're here, but I guess you don't have that many sightings..." lol I will count how many of us I see during my cruise in two weeks.
Lol, yes please do! Enjoy your cruise :)
14:07 that mountain backdrop. Beautiful!!
Hi Bob! Yes it really is :)
Thanks for sharing the sights with me. I've always wanted to see your city. It's so clean and beautiful. It's good to see a sister doing this. I really enjoy this. I love your hair style.
Thanks so much for the compliments :)
Wow I dream of coming to Alaska and this has proven to be more of a reason .Thanks for the mini tour of your area and stay beautiful and gitty
Need more info your very informative but it's beautiful and all but has the population grown in the last 10 years and how about living expenses....on your time of course.thanx for your response too
Thank you for sharing your video. I lived in Anchorage Alaska when I was a teenager in the late 80s. I always wonder what it looks like now. I would love to come back and visit maybe one day.
Yes about your other video…you can pledge graduate or “grad” chapter after you have graduated
Thanks for the tour of my hometown. Beautiful day in Anchorage, Alaska.😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lucky wishbone was one of my favorites places to eat! Early 70”s.
V Hinton It’s still here!
Good narration, an older vet from the 70s here. Served at Fort Richardson AK. Loved Alaska and now in Florida 😂😂🤣
Gosh the body of water you shared ..... AWESOME!
You & alaska are absolutely beautiful !
Hey! Thanks for the video! I'm from Connecticut and really want to go to Alaska! My brother was stationed up there with the [US] Marines for a while...Alaska honestly looks just like the lower 48 states!
Yes it does :) You should plan a trip one day to see for yourself :)
I went to Alaska a few year's back working in a remote location I wish more of my people knew about these job opportunities in Alaska and other state's because a lot of them have employee housing it's away to make money and have a little vacation as well and get to know ppl from all over the world it's a great experience
Thank you for showing me your beautiful city, my daughter and I will be arriving late on the 6th December to see for our selves. I know we will freeze our buts off as we are coming from Sunny South Africa but I am 100% sure the cold weather will be worth it. I am so excited.
Wow, that is great for you and your daughter! Make sure you are prepared to dress for the weather :)
Wow! Go gurl. This is awesome. Hope to visit that northernmost city in a copla months from today.
You should!
I'd love to visit Alaska some day,but i guess i'm stuck in rainy day everyday Scotland.😒
I hear Alaska is the same with all the rain.
Don’t give up. Try and come up with a plan and work it.😊
Thank you for showing us your city, it is beautiful. I live in the tropics in Australia so Alaska fascinates me. Spent teen years watching Northern Exposure and dreamed of atleast visiting. I do the same thing......drive around suburbs I want to live in or view beautiful houses, i think it keep you motivated to have goals. The area you visited was stunning and those houses are massive. Thanks again. I am curious as to where you would move to live next..........
Thank you for commenting Cass Cass. I would move to Arizona, Texas or North Carolina. I enjoy each of these places and have family/friends there. Visualization has helped me achieved so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and good luck achieving your goals!
Thank you for these! We are moving to Anchorage in the fall. I’m trying to get an idea of the area.l, so these are so helpful.
A lot of people say not to stay in Anchorage bc the crime is rising, but to find a house in Eagle River. Are there any good neighborhoods that you can suggest that don’t see much petty crime?
I think ER is pretty safe. Crime is much higher everywhere than it was back in the day.....
The Productive Mama I live in Eagle River. There is rarely any serious crime but there have been murders in pretty much every town in Alaska, including here. There isn’t as much of a drug problem here in Eagle River or it is hidden very well. I have seen some needles in wooded areas but it’s not bad. They avoid public places. In Anchorage they just use on the street and throw their needles in parking lots, roads etc.
Thank you..for your time..to give us this video..
No problem Douglas. It was a pleasure :)
Born here, left for a bit, returned in 2008, been here ever since. I see black people virtually every single day. No, certainly not in great big numbers, but the population for everyone in the state is small anyway. I'm mostly around in Airport Heights, Spenard, Muldoon so I'm not sure why she's saying 5:48 you can go a week or two without seeing black people. I'm not trying to contradict everything in this video, but I'm baffled at some of her comments. 2:28 we don't see sunny days in Anchorage in the summer? What?? That scene is typical for Anchorage this time of year! Our summers tend to be very bright because the sun rises earlier and sets later; we get over 19 hours of sunlight.
Thanks for your dedication!
Thanks Larry, I'm having a blast!
very good muito bom
obrigado
I really enjoyed your vlog keep them coming. 👍
I gave it a thumbs up 👍
Thanks Michael!
Hi HG what's the best time to visit Anchorage ??? Minus the snow or very little
Hi Jeanette, I would say May - July is the best time frame. Temps reach upper 80s and higher during those months.
Jeanette Johnson :
Late May is the best time for a visit. I lived in Anchorage for almost 20 years and found this time of year had the least amount of rain and lots of sunny weather. It was also before the tourists arrived, which means less traffic and lower prices.
However, some tourist sights or camping areas don’t open until June.
I loved it there; hope you have a great time.
Alaska gives you Beautiful Glow Sister
Hi Lady, I will be coming to Anchorage this may to visit my brother. I am from Texas what sort of clothes do you recommend that I pack..I believe we are going fishing on a charter boat..Any help would greatly be appreciated..
Thanks. I heard the cost of living is high?
Yes it is compared to most of the other states it is.
Hi we are considering moving there. My husband got a job offer. What is the percentage of Hispanic people in anchorage? We love the outdoors and pretty active people, so anchorage doesn’t SEEN terrible and your video helped us feel more confident about moving there
seem* oops. Also, is it expensive to do online shopping there because of shipping costs? I’m a shopaholic I NEED to know these things lol!
Hello Izza! I'm so sorry I missed your comment. The Hispanic population is somewhere around 3% last I checked. It may be higher now.... Shipping costs can be a little ridiculous depending on where you are ordering from. Some retailers don't ship to Alaska at all. Hope this helps :)
Sis said a kids meal 😂
So if you don't get many sunny days in the summer, then how is it beautiful? The word of choice would be "gloomy" wouldn't it?
No, it’s beautiful when it’s sunny and when it’s not.😊

My husband and I want to move to Alaska I really hate cold but I will sacrifice. What is the better month of the year to leave.
I would suggest March/April timeframe for a move. Good luck!
How do you handle the winter darkness?
Great question! Spending time with friends and family is a huge help. You also want to try and get out of the house to avoid cabin fever :)
Thank you,
Which month has the shortest amount of daylight? I gues the malls are crowded during the winter months.
Hi there, I just saw your question :) I would say December is the month where we have the least amount of daylight.
You still in the city?
Yes I am :)
Happy Girl Alaska Nice. You’ve been here as long as I have.
nice.......................you so cute !!!
Thank you for the compliment :)
How could I transfer my car and furniture there which I know would be expensive. How are jobs opportunities for middle-aged African-American
I would suggest searching online for shipping companies. As far as job opportunities go it depends on your industry not so much race.
@@RocknRollDina That is rude. Wow
You know that was like a month ago but ok
So do I!
@@LifeAfter50withTerree 😊
Hello
Nice.
MIT. Me
Hi there Mrhs :)
You're funny, you make Black people sound like you're aliens, when you say things like "I spotted another one that's 4 I spotted today", i'm a gay white man, wonder how many of those live in Alaska? LOL! But thanks for the tour, I've always wanted to see Anchorage, and then after seeing your video I'm going to call my travel agent to book a trip for next summer, looks like a really nice place to visit, and really quiet, there's hardly anybody there! (Did I mention I live in Toronto? We almost at the 7 million people mark, so most places seem quiet to me). There's a guy who's never been to Alaska before, specifically Anchorage, what would you recommend that I should definitely see while I'm there? A few friends that might've been there and they absolutely loved it, in fact one of them moved there he loved it so much, so I'll be visiting him while I'm up there. But he's only been living there for a few months, so he really doesn't know the city very well so any tips, advice, or help would be greatly appreciated, thanks and have a great day!
Hi TJ! I know I sound a little crazy for saying that but there are so few of us up here it's not even funny (well kinda). But as far as what you want to see while you're up here... I would definitely recommend the 26 Glacier cruise, Whitewater rafting either the 6 mile or Matanuska river, hike Flattop and check out the ice bar in Fairbanks. Hope this helps and stay tuned for more vlogs!!
lol...that's how I felt when I got to Bismarck, North Dakota....Like an alien almost. But there's More of us up here now, and there's a higher percentage of us in Fargo. But it's all good, it's nice to visit different spots. Keep up the good work sis!
Thanks for the encouragement RodimusPrime :) I can see where it would be tough to relate if you're the majority... AK is pretty diverse which surprises a lot of people.
Happy Girl AK the interesting thing is that you've been there for a while. I thought you had mentioned that you were born there? If so, that's amazing 😊
@@LifeAfter50withTerree well get out of the car and do a walk through Fairview, and mountain view and then count how many black people you see, I have the sixth sense I see black people
What a hot lady!
I lived up there for 5 years, got sober, came home, thank you for getting me to where I was supposed to be
That's awesome Jim! Congrats on getting sober and on track :)
You got sober....in Alaska?? Good for you!
Im black I just found out that I have cousins live in Anchorage AK
So
@@cxjeter excuse you
Your hair looks great on you , just wanted to tell you that ❤️
Thank you!
RealLifeRodriguezTNTV
Im coming too alaska
Are you me? I order happy meals and kids meals 24/7 knowing I'm grown 😹
Helps me not feel so bad for eating it if it's a smaller portion. :-)
You are beautiful and funny! Thank you for taking your time to show us the beauty of Anchorage city!
Oh, thank you so much for the compliment! It was my pleasure taking you to see the city. Stay tuned for more videos :)
Still watching in 2024 from Santo Domingo Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
I just moved from anchorage to the bay of Cali.. N I'm so glad someone is vlogging in ak. Get a head start girl. N ill watch n tell my friends
Awesome! Thanks Jay Pee :)
Yay for the vlogs! This was just great! Had no idea Alaska had so much green space. I always picture snow and cold. 😀 Those houses were beautiful and the lake views, so pretty. Can't wait for the next. 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Kind of new to vlog'ing so it was a little challenging but fun. Looking to get more videos out soon. Thanks for the compliment!
I grew up there and it is so much more than snow. Summers are beautiful and winter is a blast. Don’t believe everything you hear!
I'm subscribing because I'm looking to relocate sometime in my life. a new place to live new scenery somewhere nice hoping it's affordable I'm from Chicago so and hoping to see more Anchorage what is like to be in Alaska.
I think you'd enjoy it here. The cost of living is a little high so do plenty of research.
What part of Chicago you from lol
I was in anchorage in June of 2019 that was the only thing on my bucket and a friend I have known for 51 years and has been in anchorage since 1975 flew me there I stayed there for 5 days wasn’t hardly long enough but I was thouroghly blessed to go there Anchorage was a beautiful place like you while I was there we went to Seward to fish on a charter fishing boat for halibut fishing caught 2 really nice halibuts while we were in Seward we slept that night on his 37 ft sailboat he lives in anchorage and he told me that was the first he had been to his boat since 1999 I really miss Alaska and would really love to live there but it is so expensive I am on disability because of my motorcycle accident in 2012 I get 950 a month but I don’t think that is enough to live there I know I could afford to live in Fairbanks because there are a lot of dry cabins for 4 to 5 hundred a month the only thing is that it gets from 50 to 70 below zero in the winter I love cold weather and snow but 50 to 70 below is out of the question if I could find a place I could afford I would move there he told me I could live on his sailboat for free but Seward is only inhabitable for about 3 moths because it is a fishing town love your videos keep them coming that way at least I can see the city I really love thank you once again for your videos god bless George burke Jeremy is my son so I am doing this on his iPad until I get my own you tube account set up
Enjoying Anchorage on vacation. Still plenty of diversity in population from what I can see. Very modern city. Reminds me of the Bay Area a lot. Just with moose and surrounded by a roaring wilderness.
Yes, one of the things I love about Anchorage is the diversity. It has been a treat growing up with friends with a variety of cultural backgrounds.
I'm a black man from Georgia who likes to travel to cold weather places in the winter. The past four years I've been to Canada, Montana, Alaska, and Chicago all when it was cold. I saw black people in all of those places. I saw them in Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska. Anyone who says blacks don't do cold is either a liar or just ignorant. In fact, I wouldn't mind living in most of those places I mentioned.
I totally agree with you and would love to visit Canada one of these days.
I was born there
You are beautiful sis... husband and I are considering a big move in a few years and Alaska is on the possibility list.. thanks for the tour
Hello Chai :) That sounds like an exciting plan. I believe anyone can adapt and thrive here!
I know this is old but where ever you are or where you are I hope ur doing well!
Very beautiful city and vibrant with colour. The air quality must be very noticeable when arriving into that city. There's something youthful and majestic in that place.😃
The air is so crisp! It’s as wonderful and you can imagine and beyond!
What do you do in Anchorage? I saw that you recently got a degree. You are very lovely and well spoken.
You gave a good tour and understanding of it I really like it and wouldnt mind moving there my name is sadeeq abdul-mateen its beautiful there originally im from new York so im ok with cold winters man its really nice looking there how's the people
The people here are friendly for the most part. My family is from the south where everyone speaks to each other so nothing in comparison to that. The community is very diverse, similar to New York so you'd find that similarity here.
You are so pretty and friendly. Thank you for the video. I live in Florida and have been there twice. We love Ak.
Thanks Renee! Florida is really nice too :))
I would love to live there wit my kid I live all the way in guyana ..omg jus want to start a new life
Hi from México. You are Nice
Very insightful my family and I live in San Diego looking for a better place to raise our family.
Best of luck!
There are a lot of misconceptions about Alaska or even Anchorage for that matter I lived in Anchorage for over 40 years I moved away in 2003 it's nice to see videos of Anchorage currently I do get homesick every once in awhile even though I don't really miss the winters too much anymore.I explain to people here in the lower 48 Alaska does have nice summer days it's not cold all year round as a lot of people think.I still have family members and Anchorage I hope to make it up one day.People I talked to didn't realize they have stores like Walmart Sam's Club Costco other stores in general and Anchorage some people are actually shocked when I told him this that's where I say about the misconception about Alaska in general comes in.
I totally agree with you. Even to this day people are shocked to hear we are just as current as the lower 48s. Alaska is one of those rare jewels within the United States that I personally believe everyone should visit. I enjoyed reading your comment and looking to upload more videos soon!
Great video! Wishing you much success in the future. I live in Fairbanks and hhave never been to Anchorage. Thanks for the tour!
enjoyed your video. one of my bucket list places to go soon. have you tried the reindeer hotdogs? if so are they good?
I hope you get a chance to visit soon. I have had reindeer hotdogs and featuring one in my next vlog. Stay tuned!
Oh and what's cell phone service like there and the best carrier to go with there here I have at&t on one phone and boost on the other which runs off Sprint towers
We have major carriers like AT&T, Verizon, etc. so those options are available.
You’re hilarious. Am gonna show your videos to my friend Karen who said there are no black peoples in Alaska. And you have every right to be proud of your gorgeous city.
She's so cute when she eats her fries. In fact she's just cute period.
Your a natural! I would take a tour with you any day!
Got a like, now want a tour date lol😉🍷💃
By the way I am African-American and I wanted to know if they had any Burger King's there too
Yes Burger King is here :)
Yes it’s here just no chipotle or chick-fil-a 😂
What about a Popeyes
Question. Do you experience racism in Anchorage? If so, is it often?
I haven't experienced blatant racism but undertone every now and then. It' s not often.
My husband and I wanted to get an idea view of Alaska. I ran into your video and we could not keep our eyes off the screen. I definitedly didn't expect any of the cities to be so green. Thanks much!
Hey wassup i enjoyed your vid, best one ive seen. I am moving to AK next year and im loving the area your in
Fantastic! I hope you enjoy your stay here :)
I like your videos.I’m in Portland Oregon but want to move to anchorage ak.
Thank you! There are quite a few folks living here from Portland, OR. What are you waiting for? :)
A friend of mine came over to Anchorage on a Missionary Assignment & totally enjoyed your city.
Oh wow how cool! You may want to consider visiting. The summers are gorgeous. :)
@@LifeAfter50withTerree I live on the other side of the world in New Zealand. I am definitely hitting you up if I ever visit Alaska..
I may travel nurse there! The pays really good!
NanTheGoldChild what is that like ? Is there much diversity there in nursing ?
Hello. We are vacationing in Anchorage in August and we plan to visit Whittier and Seward. And other suggestions of must see’s?
I really enjoyed and appreciated this video. My grandson is going to be stationed in Alaska this year. Your videos are so informative! 👏🏽👏🏽
I’m happy to have helped.😊
Great video. I'm from there but live in the Lower 48 now. So, it's good to see home. Thanks.
You're welcome Andrea and thank you for checking out the video :))

What about income where do u work and how fast would income be found there?
Employment videos coming very soon.
Hi, I want to ask if the summertime over there is very hot or cold? It is beautiful over there in Anchorage.
The summers here are perfect in my opinion. Sometimes we reach the 90 degree threshold and above but is very comfortable for the most part.
Thank you so much! I will look forward for future videos.
Im Black from dallas......Eagle AK...very remote ....love it tho
beautiful were u born there ?
Thank you for the compliment! I was born in Florida but moved here at a very young age (single digits) so this is home for me :)
I think Alaska is a beautiful place

Thank you Gregory! I agree.... There is so much more to Alaska and I'm happy these videos help :)
Hello I dream to see Alaska a pleasure to see your show you are up to the task

Happy Girl Alaska - Of course!
I love your vlogs, I just found them! I lived there 10yr ago and would love to move back
So you know just as well as I do how magnificent Alaska is! I know I will miss it.
Really Beautiful greenspaces
Moving in August, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
You're welcome :-) How exciting!
I'm contemplating teaching in the bush, but I haven't seen any videos posted by black teachers. Do you know if there are black teachers in the bush and could you connect me to one of them? Thank you
Hi Christy :) I don't know any teachers who work in the bush. Wonder if you could contact one of the schools out there to get a general idea?
@@LifeAfter50withTerree Thanks for your response:) . I can do that. I did find a few outdated videos, but more recent blogs on the experience. It's definitely a mind over matter type deal.
We are having a good time.We went on the Portage Glacier Tour a little windy but great .Took the Trolley tour and spent too much money in that Polar Bear Store. And had great Bar b q from my brother during the tour.One more day and we Ready to go at it.
