Peter Jenkins went to remote Alaska for 18 months to research his latest book, “Looking for Alaska.” As always, he brought along his family. Turns out the trip made a lasting impression on his daughter Rebecca. Father and daughter spoke about their experiences and motives on The Savvy Traveler this weekend. “So many of us are stuck in places because we’re afraid to leave, we’re afraid we might miss something, It’s also why so many people stay as a member of the flock,” the elder Jenkins says. “They’re afraid to step out and do something a little different. One of the reasons I wanted to have Rebecca experience Alaska was to see that she could stand alone on her own.”
