Why Fairbanks, Alaska?
Fairbanks is the gateway to the Arctic and a bucket-list destination for travellers worldwide. During the summer you’ll experience up to 21 hours of daylight thanks to the famous Midnight Sun – perfect for hiking, kayaking on the Chena River, riverboat cruises and exploring Denali National Park on your days off. As the season turns to fall, the tundra bursts into red and gold and the first Northern Lights of the season appear in the night sky. Soak in the Chena Hot Springs, meet Alaskan huskies, and discover a side of America that very few people ever see.
About Alaska
Alaska is the ultimate Work & Travel adventure - glaciers, Denali, midnight sun and untouched wilderness. Most students work in remote lodges, national-park resorts and on tour boats, earning some of the highest summer wages in the country.
