Pediatric Surgeon to Global Explorer
“A Journey from Profession to Passion”
As a neonatal and pediatric surgeon, precision and attention to details have percolated my DNA. For me travel is not just about checking destinations off a list but about deeply immersing oneself in the soul of each place, it’s about perspective, connection, and discovery. Through my travels I have a long-term vision to enhance cross-cultural understanding, environmental conservation, and the importance of preserving heritage.

“The Awakening of the Last Frontier”
MAY 2026
May marks the official start of Alaska’s travel season, offering the best of both worlds—fewer crowds and the awakening of nature in full splendor. It’s the perfect month for discerning travelers seeking pristine beauty, authentic experiences, and a front-row seat to the changing of seasons.
Key Highlights for May Travel in Alaska:
1. Wildlife Watching at Its Best
- Brown bears emerge from hibernation and can be spotted in places like Katmai or Lake Clark National Park.
- Moose calving season—a rare opportunity to see moose with their newborns in areas near Anchorage and Denali.
- Migratory birds return—ideal for bird watching along the Kenai Peninsula or in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley.
2. Denali National Park: Spring Awakens
- Early May offers snow-capped peaks with blooming tundra.
- Limited crowds = more serene and personalized exploration.
- Ideal time for photography and guided hikes, especially with a naturalist.
3. Glacier Exploration & Coastal Cruises
- Take small-ship cruises through Kenai Fjords or Prince William Sound—see tidewater glaciers calving dramatically into the ocean.
- Whale watching season begins—gray whales are migrating, and humpbacks start to appear.
4. Extended Daylight = More Time to Explore
- With up to 18 hours of daylight, there’s more time for epic hikes, flightseeing, and cultural immersion.
- Perfect for adventure photographers or those who don’t want the day to end.
5. Spring Blooms & Local Festivals
- Witness wildflowers like lupines and forget-me-nots carpeting valleys.
- Attend Anchorage Market & Festival or Sitka’s Spring Music Festival—a touch of Alaskan culture and cuisine.
