From North to South

Amy's ramblings. Once upon a time these ramblings pertained to my 5 months in Guatemala and Honduras. Then they followed the ebb and flow of my final semester in Alaska. From there things really went south ... to Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. After 8 months in the Andes, I fell back under Alaska's spell … working at a newspaper and wandering mountains. Now I'm somewhat south again ... in Jackson Hole, WY, teaching ski school on the clock and making fresh tracks off the clock.

From north to really north



Last month I was smack in the middle of Manhattan... the vibrant and bustling center for international politics, multi-national corporations and world renowned art...

Last week I was within the boundaries of the same country... but in a different world entirely.

I crossed the Arctic Circle and landed in Kotzebue... a rather large native village of 3,000 people located in the northwest corner Alaska!

The trip was one of four that Joshua and will make for a video were producing on a tribal doctor named Della Keats

Slowly we're inching our way toward the dream... traveling the world, telling stories and getting paid to do it.

On this last trip, it may have been middle of April, but it was bitterly cold. Add an non-stop, howling wind to zero degrees (Fahrenheit) and after seven minutes outside the cheeks start to go numb.

This is the Alaska everyone pictures when they ask me how I make it through the winters.
