AK Andy's Travels

a 28 year old female traveling as a family from Anchorage

Traveling is my favorite activity and I usually travel with my sister, the perfect traveling partner. Our favorite things to do when traveling include sampling the local cuisine, enjoying outdoor activities, learning about the culture, and taking pictures. Oh, and did I mention how much we love to eat?
