I've got a friend that is originally from Finland. They are a part of this organization: Anchorage Suomi Finland Club, Inc.

They might be able to offer some help too.

It is isn't to me, but you have put Highlife2's mind at ease...

I hope your dreams come true and it turns out to be everything you hoped it would.

I don't think people are allowed to work without a work visa.

I just have to love the irony of how helpful the answers were. I wonder if people would have been so helpful if OP had been from, say, China or India, rather than white Finland.

Imagine the following posting:
"Hey, I'm a young guy from California, I graduated from Chico State. I've been thinking of moving up to Alaska and trying out some gold mining, fishing or trapping, maybe getting a construction job. I want to move way off grid! Or maybe I'll be a teacher."

Name that poster! (He wasn't actually a poster here, btw).

The non-citizens who work seasonally in Alaska are generally on student work visas.

Just want to make sure people understand what they are getting into, I have heard that finding a live in girl friend in most other places is not a big deal so it could be a rude awakening comming up here.
