t seemed like a dream to be in Cordova, Alaska. It seemed surreal to have the possibility of walking down the streets of that place and marveling at its mountains and fog. It seemed unreal to think that for six months I would work with the US Forest Service and immerse myself in the daily life of this community. I had the opportunity to fly over 2,000 miles and settle on this place. This dream became a reality thanks to the Forest Service International Program, and to the close alliance between the Forest Service and Terra Peninsular.
