Barrow (housing, job, art)

[ZeeDante]

If I wanted to go to Barrow to live and work for the summer, would this even be possible? Any help at all? Thank you in advance.

Anything is possible.

DM Floyd. He's a resident of Barrow. He might have the gist on what goes on there come summer. Also feel free to try the search feature on Barrow. There are 4 or 5 threads here somewhere.

I'm sure it would be possible IF you could find housing.

I can't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to do that if you want to.

Housing isn't a problem to find here, just that it is expensive. Plenty of it though. Plus in the summer you could easily pitch a tent on the beach or on the tundra either one and "rough it" if you are that kinda person.

Work is a question of what you are skilled at and what you are willing to do. I'll almost guarantee you can find enough work to feed yourself. You might not be able to make enough to save up for a plane ticket out though, so do start with a round trip ticket! Bring enough money to feed yourself for a couple weeks at least (which means 3-4 weeks in the Lower-48), just in case it takes time to find a job.

Or go camp on Floyd's back yard and use his bathroom daily, I'm sure he'd work something out.

Are there polar bears on the beach there in summer?

There's no need for him to commit suicide. Yet, at least.

Not so many that you'd need to worry, much.

Maybe he could hook up with MI & make ivory bracelets? I hear you can become a millionaire doing that.
