LIFE in NUNAVUT, CANADA

Grow On Ice

Life, curiosities, and hard-won lessons on making a home above the treeline in Nunavut.

Juliana, Grow On Ice

Hi, I'm Juliana (aka Jules)

From the South to the far North

I’m a Brazilian-Canadian who left the familiar behind and ended up above the treeline. Some days Nunavut still doesn’t feel real, and that’s exactly why I started writing it all down.

Why I write

This blog is my way of paying attention. To the land, the people, the curiosities, and the quiet moments that make life up here unlike anywhere else. If any of it resonates, I’m glad you’re here.

Have a question? Just ask

Curious about life up here, planning a move, or just need a nudge in the right direction? Reach out. I can’t promise I’ll have every answer, but I’ll point you toward the right one whenever I can.
