Of course I've seen pictures of Alaska before I went there. But I had no idea how overwhelming it was to see it with your own eyes. And I'd probably would have never went to Alaska if I wouldn't have family there, because I don't like cold places 😣 I love beaches and the heat 🙂 But I'm happy and grateful that I got to experience this adventure.
I love nature and Alaska's nature is breathtaking! It just lets me think "wow nothing is impossible for our God" !!
