Hi everyone!

I have been offered an opportunity in Iqaluit. I'm really intrigued, as I love Inuit culture and I want to experience the land and see the beautiful northern lights!!

It is a 4-month opportunity, starting in January. I'm from Ontario, so I assume it will be a big change. I've been reading, and crime rates seem to be high, but it seems skewed compared to the population. I'm worried, though, as I would be a solo female traveller.

Also, I'm curious about how people get around. I wouldn't have a car, so I'm curious to know if it's walkable or if there are taxis?

Any thoughts? I'd love any input that you all can offer.
