Ep 09 Gold, Glaciers & a Cat Mayor?! Alaska Is Not What You Expect | Where to Next? | Veena World

Alaska isn’t a destination; it’s an experience that demands flexibility.

One moment you’re panning for gold in Fairbanks, feeling like an explorer from the 1800s. Next, you’re soaking in Chena Hot Springs, watching the Northern Lights dance above you. You’ll ride trains past Denali, meet moose on hiking trails, fly over glaciers, and hear stories of husky dogs who once carried life-saving vaccines across frozen land.

You’ll visit towns that only open in summer, discover that vegetables grow to giant sizes under 24-hour sunlight, and learn why this wild land was once called “Seward’s Folly.”

From Anchorage, the gateway to Alaska, to Talkeetna, where community matters and legends live on, this episode is a reminder that some places don’t adapt to you… You adapt to them.

Wild. Vast. Unforgettable.

This is Alaska, told the Where to Next? way.
