About this blog

Minus 53 degrees Celcius (without the windchill) for a week straight...yes we must have been a little crazy to leave our lives behind to move to a remote Inuit community in the Canadian Arctic...this is only the beginning of our great adventure!

We've spent 2 amazing years getting to know Baker's truly incredible people and having a brilliant time of all our escapades. Although it breaks our hearts to say good bye to the beauty of this place and to all our friends and neighbors, we are looking forward to the next part of our adventure: A YEAR WITHOUT WINTER!!! (We've earned it!)

So at the end of August we leave Baker Lake for a trip that'll hopefully take us around the world!

Enjoy!
