The world moves pretty fast. I am often stunned when I think of all of the changes we’ve gone through in the last 12 years since I’ve started traveling

The Hotel de Glace is North America’s only Ice Hotel, and it’s full of incredible ice sculptures and designs. And if it’s just too cold for you, your Ice Hotel room actually also comes with a real hotel room, so you can bail out and go to your normal hotel room nearby too.

It is equipped with everything you need for a short stay; a futon/bed, small kitchen, a little toilet area, a pop up table and fold up chairs, plus a little wood stove that looks more like a Barbie stove!

Don’t worry, the wolves were supposed to be there; I was sleeping with the wolves on this cold winter night on purpose. In addition, he leaves the wolves as if they are in the wild, he doesn’t feed them regularly – sometimes he will wait days before they get fed – just as a pack in the wild might have to do. I saw a few wolves with injuries due to fighting; they fought among themselves and ostracized certain wolves, it was fascinating to observe. Gilles doesn’t have a set duration for the contact experience, we simply stay in the enclosure as long as the wolves are interested in us.

Daring to Be Different and Visiting Quebec in the Winter “We’ve got hiking, and kayaking adventures, as well as a new via ferrata in the fjord,” the Quebec tourism rep excitedly said to me as she pointed to pictures of the lush green fjords around Saguenay. Everyone I had talked to in Quebec talked about how the snow each year is “guaranteed”, but in this age of global warming I kept wondering why does Quebec consistently get all of this snow? In fact – I planned my whole winter trip around being able to attend the Winter Carnival; the largest winter carnival in the world. If you like snow, but you also like to be inside, then ice fishing is a great option for enjoying Quebec winter!
