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.

They didn’t do a Back-Flips into my Heart

Once upon a time, there was a stinky, witty guy who smelled like old sweat. I went on a date with him. The stinky, witty guy was so stink, I had to sit as far away as possible in my seat and breathe the other direction from where he was sitting. The lady sitting next to me probably thought I was taking a Lamaze class next to her. Poor.

Once upon another time, I dated a walking-red-flag. He was the guy who was perfect in many ways, loved the right music, voted for the right person, said the most wonderful things when I most needed to hear them.  Come to find out, he is incapable of dating one person at a time, calling and showing up when he says he’s going to and has magnificent, elaborate stories and excuses why he didn’t.
