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

I have arrived safely in Vancouver and am as usually immediately overwhelmed by North American friendliness! The struggle was just about to begin when the ticket machine didn’t want to except my credit card and my cash was buried somewhere deep down in one of my three bags. But suddenly a young lady offered me her day ticket!
Some minutes later in the streets a toothless old lady in a wheelchair simply asked me where I wanted to go and then described me the way to my hotel. I have the day to roam around the city tomorrow and then I’ll fly to Whitehorse at night.

Stay wild,  Jette
