Eskimo to the World

I am Trina Landlord and this is my blog. In a past life, Eskimo to the World documented my adventures in New York – where in minute everything can change. Much like my life changed when I moved from Alaska to the 'city that never sleeps'. From the biggest state in America to the most populous city in the United States. From the immaculate nature of the Chugach Mountains, Yukon River and Bering Sea to the urban tundra of sky scrapers, enclaves of business and cultural capitals and the nation's foremost trendsetters. From 'the great land' to arguably the 'greatest city on earth'. I made a 5,000 mile prodigious leap from Anchorage to New York City – AND BACK TO ALASKA. The determination of Yup’ik peoples to survive in harsh Arctic conditions had given me the foundation to survive on streets of New York, I will continue to chronicle the parallels of both worlds.

I lasted One Day I am seeking a second job. A couple weeks ago, someone connected me with a market research company to conduct telephone surveys. I lasted one day. My job was to call people in rural Alaska - from Brevig Mission to Toksook Bay to Kipnuk to Hooper Bay - to conduct a 50-question survey about anti-corruption. I was not asking one-question surveys, I was reading paragraphs word-for-word and expecting one word answers such as: 1) strongly agree, 2) somewhat agree, 3) strongly disagree and 4) somewhat disagree. I had people laugh, hang up and yell at me and completed four surveys in the span of four hours. I strongly agree that job was not for me.
