As someone who has traveled to 55+ countries the first line in the description had me hooked, and even though I don’t usually post about non fiction travel books (on this account) they are truly one of my favorite reads! My adventurous soul can’t get enough of this and I absolutely love these books; Alaska also holds a special place in my heart.

“Have you ever wondered what would happen if you walked out the front door and disappeared from your current life? Just grab the keys and go - no destination, no objective. Just up and left, never looking back.”

Ultimately an incredible journey and also little bit of a guide; he has created a book that lets you dream, and learn. This memoir offers a dreamy, yet realistic insight into the Alaskan wilderness. Incredibly inspiring to read, and I hope it encourages a fellow reader to learn some survival tips to explore more of the outside world. Overall, such a great read and I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for a bit more insight on getting out of your comfort zone, or inspiration to follow your dreams.

So, this book is exactly what the title says. The author's journey to, that's TO, Alaska. I think there is one sentence at the end of the book that says that he has arrived in Alaska. That's all we hear about Alaska. Along the way we are told about his e-bike trip up the coast. This trip contains nothing more than how much battery his e-bike has, what time he awoke, what he had to eat, how wet he got in the rain. Sometimes he mentions people he has met, but not in depth. He hardly mentions scenery. Although there was one time he mentioned that the woods he road through were amazing. They were amazing three times in the same paragraph. There is no depth to the writing. I do apologize for this review, I don't think I have ever left such a negative one. But we are asked for honesty. I am sure however, that someone does like this book more than I disliked it. I thank NetGalley and Atmosphere Press for the advanced read.
