Meet your local guide
Hi! I'm Carol Hobbs, Nome resident for the past 12 years. From the first time I walked down those Alaska Airlines steps and set my feet on Nome land, I knew I was home. I was born in Canada and spent most of my childhood among the Nishnawbe Aski Nation of northern Ontario.
My husband, Daniel, and I have raised our five adult kids in Nome, and much to our surprise and delight, our kids have decided to settle in Nome as well. Daniel is a nurse in the Emergency Room at our local hospital and each of our kids are employed by local businesses, using their skills to benefit the entire Norton Sound region.
I've always loved history, and Nome's history is no exception. I've loved learning about traditional dwellings of indigenous people, how mail was delivered in 1900 (it wasn't), and how many fires and Bering Sea storms have battered our little town through the years. I won't pretend I know everything, but I'd love to share the wildly interesting facts I've learned.
