No, I don't live in an igloo! Greetings from Alaska.

Hello Steemit community!

I am excited to get involved and start contributing to this great site!

I am an Alaskan, love the winter, all things outdoors, writing, and traveling. I take photos sometimes. Also, I am just getting into cryptocurrency trading.

I find in my travels the most immediately compelling thing people want to know about me is what it is like living so far north. A lot of the stereotypes are based in truth. A few fun tidbits here:

• I don't live in an igloo. In fact, I have never seen one before
• There are moose all over
• It is hard to take a bad photo because everything is so darned pretty
• If you have ever thought about visiting here, do it. You won't regret it
• Some of the state does get 24 hours of daylight
• Likewise, there is also the 24 hour endless night

My posts will probably mostly involve stories from Alaska. These include adventures biking, hiking, climbing, driving (going to work can be an adventure in itself!), and my fantastic dog. Once I get how to upload photos, I will be including epic photos of Alaska and beyond. (Someone help, does the photo uploader on the "submit a story" page work or do I need to host the photos elsewhere and insert the URL?)

Additionally, I forsee many posts about my trials and tribulations learning the ways of cryptocurrency. I anticipate these to be quite humorous.

So Steemit, if you like what you've read, give me a follow. I can't wait to get involved and start following you!
