Ren,
I think the young guy is in Kenai. His name is Sam. and the other is in Wasilla! Maybe your sis knows him? His name is Benzie, Benjamin Zwink, I believe. It would be great to have some contacts she could call if needed. Being a great traveler myself, I also believe it could be a grand adventure if everything checks out. I myself hitchhiked to Alaska with a gay friend when I was 18. It was a great adventure and I have wonderful memories of it.

~~What can y'all recommend I do as due diligence to make sure that if
she goes she is safe? alaska is awfully cold in November.~~
How do you guarantee she is safe if she stays home? Life is dangerous,
there are no guarantees of anything. Sounds like it could be a grand
adventure for her.
Make sure she has a reliable form of communication, extra money and
lotsa warm cloths (yes, it's cold everywhere in Alaska in November)
and make sure you talk with the family enough to work out the details.
What part of Alaska will she be visiting? I have family in Wasilla and
Fairbanks if you'd like her to have a local contact in case of an
emergency. My sis in Wasilla is a radical unschooler too.:)
