  • S2: Alaskan Adventures: Dog Sledding, Glacier Hiking & the Northern Lights feat. Mandy Garcia from Salmon Berry Travel & Tours 🐕 🥾

    Since this season is all about bucket list adventures, I figured I would probably be doing you all a disservice if I didn't have an episode featuring Alaska and a few once-in-a-lifetime activities visitors can experience there. I mean, the amount of times I've heard, "My top bucketlist item is to visit Alaska" alone made this episode happen. So today I got the pleasure of having on Mandy Garcia from Salmon Berry Travel & Tours, a tour company in Anchorage, Alaska that gives guests the opportunity to experience dog sledding, glacier hiking, view the Northern lights, and more. If you're an Alaska fan or you're dying to go at some point in your life, then this episode is for you!
