Northbound - 5 months with the Gwich'in First Nations north of the Arctic circle story of northern lights, ancient Gwich’in culture and true wilderness Protecting the largest pristine mountain wilderness in the world – the objective is not too small, that’s for sure! I am Jette, an environmental ambassador from the NGO Wilderne

It has begun! I’m off to leave for the Western Arctic in Canada!

I am facing quite an itinerary: First stop is Vancouver, then Whitehorse, after that Inuvik. From there Shayla is going to pick me up by car such that by Sunday afternoon next week I’ll hopefully finally be in Fort McPherson, the dreamy little town in the North West Territory that will be my home for the next five months! I can’t wait to finally meet her in person after several Skype dates! She has helped me prepare for this adventure, be it organizing a host family or simply telling me what cloths to pack. And she will be part of implementing this great project!

Look forward to the next news from Vancouver!

Stay wild! Jette
