If you are a writer looking to retreat to Alaska for a week of focused writing, here's what you will need:
• A cozy, remote cabin or off-the-grid retreat. Something nestled in the Alaskan wilderness, away from the distractions of civilization. Bonus points if it has sweeping views of the mountains or a glistening lake. For more glamour, check out Alaska Glacier Lodge, Alyeska Princess Lodge and multiple VRBOs.
• A reliable laptop or writing device, along with plenty of backup power sources and chargers. The last thing a writer wants is to run out of battery in the middle of a creative flow.
• High-quality noise-cancelling headphones. To block out any ambient sounds and help the writer fully immerse themselves in their work.
• A stack of notebooks and pens/pencils. Sometimes the old-fashioned method of pen and paper can help unlock new ideas.
• Warm, weatherproof clothing. Alaska can be brutally cold, even in the summer, so layers and thermal gear are a must.
• A robust first-aid kit, just in case. Venturing into the Alaskan wilderness requires preparedness.
• Hearty, non-perishable food supplies. The writer won't want to waste time grocery shopping when they could be writing. If you go the glamour route you may still need to bring your healthy snacks.
• If you choose remote, a reliable mode of transportation, whether it's a rugged 4x4 vehicle or a bush plane. Getting to and from the remote writing retreat is key.
• And perhaps most importantly - an open and adventurous mindset. The Alaskan wilderness has a way of inspiring creativity and fresh perspectives. A writer who embraces the unknown is sure to produce their best work.
