Alaska will get in your blood.
Good place to fly as well.
Might as well learn up there, but probably more expensive and less flying days due to weather and lack of day light.
I started my flying career flying bush Alaska. Small town on the tundra called Bethel. Lost of flying to support the surrounding villages, all dirt and gravel strips.
Also fish haul off beaches and sand bars.
Lost friends and colleagues in accidents.
Be careful up there, not a forgiving environment.
