You would need to apply for a work visa to live and work in Alaska, or to immigrate to the U.S. if you want to live there permanently. Both are extremely difficult...and immigration takes years. See site below to begin your research.

You'll need a parka!haha

AK is great. People are friendly and very laid back compared to the Lower 48. I think anyone who comes here has to have a great respect for the land, nature, and weather and enjoy them, otherwise there is really no point in coming here. Its not a cultural mecca by any means (although there is a good art scene in Anchorage compared to similar sized cities), so you should enjoy spending time outside.

So, what to do, where to live? AK's hospitality industry is pretty vast, so I guess you should probably determine where you want to live. If you want a city, well, there are 3. Other than that, there are small towns and villages. I would suggest you do a little research about where you'd like to be, and start from there. Check out www.craigslist.com and click Alaska. At least for Anchorage, there are a lot of job listings and apt. rentals, etc.

Good luck.
