How I As French Man Ended Up Volunteering At A Wolf Sanctuary In Russia

One day I realized I wanted to travel someplace different, somewhere more fulfilling than a simple trip

I searched for many days and found this wolf sanctuary in the far Russia

Apparently, you can volunteer there, so my plan was set

I traveled to the remote village in Russia, where I met friendly people, who did not speak my language, and a lot of wolves

For two weeks I was fully immersed in the wild: no internet, no TV, no phone

I had to visit mama wolf everyday, which took 2 hours of walking in the forest by foot, where I needed to be loud to scare away the bears

She needed to see humans, as she was wild but got too used to being around humans and therefore needed some human attention

I stayed in a hut by the wolf fence for a few nights, hearing the howling of the other wolves

I also cared for the cubs

Those tiny ones eat so much meat already

This is the house in the village where I stayed

My daily path to see the wolf
