Yukon Life

I live in a strange place.

Not that its "wierd strange" (although sometimes it can be) but more "strange unusual".

I live north of the 60th parallel, and a bit south of the Arctic Circle. So yeah, it gets cold in the winter. Really cold. As someone who hails from far warmer climes south of the equator this has taken some getting used to. Well...truth be told I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

The place I live is also a vast, untouched, sparsely populated (by humans anyway) wilderness. We actually have clean air and clean water. We have virtually no serious crime but our neighbours are quite wild. Literally.

I live in the Yukon, Canada. An area the size of California, but with a population of about 30,000. We have 5 moose and 1 grizzly bear for every person here. This has also taken some getting used to...my usual home is a very cosmopolitan city of 4 million.

I came here for adventure...and I haven't been disappointed. Just about everything is different from anywhere else I've been.
