What you will read in here, is the story of a French man who ended up Volunteering at a wolf sanctuary in Russia:
Being a French guy from a tiny town, I have always liked to travel. I started traveling at the age of 21 and by age 25 I wanted something a little bit different than going to hostels or sleeping in a tent, something more fulfilling.So I started searching for an experience and found this place where apparently you can volunteer with wolves in the Far West Russian Land.
The following 13 pictures will introduce you with the adventurous life of this French man.
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

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
