My plans for the next year

Finally I've got everything a bit sorted out, about how my next months will look like in Canada. The last week it seemed impossible for me to make any decission, until Friday 1ste of June I finally saw the light.
My plan was to go home middle of july and stay there till end of august, because My Mexican friend was getting married in Germany, but the plans has changed a bit. When I've finished my moose bus tour I'll fly back home for two weeks, so that will be from 8th till 24th of june. The reason for that is because I frankly haven't prepared anything to stay away for a whole year and I think I'll need some winter clothes over here.
When I fly back to Canada I'll go directly to Calgary and there I start working in a Lodge, located at the gorgeous Lake Louise. I'll work in the kitchen and in the housekeeping for the whole summer season, probably till end of september I think.
Then I have time to see a bit more of the West of Canada, like Vancouver and Jasper National Park, ...
And then comes the best part of my trip: Beginning of December I will fly all the way up to Whitehorse, which is in Yukon Territory at the boarder with Alaska, where I'll do some voluntary work with Huskies. I applied with an organisation, called Muktuk, which organise dogsledging trips. I'm gonna stay there the whole winter and learn a lot about the dogs, even get to ride a sledge, awsome isn't it! I'm gonna be freezing cold, but I'll try to get a good isolation layer by then :-) which is working very well here with all the junk food in my sight.
Anyway can't wait to start the next part of my trip, although I'm having lots of fun now as well, finishing my trip with the bus.
I'm in Ottowa at the moment. We left Montreal saturday evening, after our bus broke down before we even left, so had to spend our day at the beer festival in Montreal, poor me! (they even had a couple of Belgian beers there). We spend a night in Mont Tremblant, a skivillage, and visited Omega Park, a wildlife park where we got to see Moose, deer, capricorn, wolves, beers, and all other North American wildlife.
Tomorrow will be the scariest day of my life, because the bungee jump is on the programme, I'm gonna pee my pants, but it will be worht it I gues.
So fingers crossed that the rope doesn't break and I'll let you guys enjoy my jump afterworths with some pictures when I've got the change.
