 As the breeze gently brushes my cheek, the sea birds chirp softly in the bush behind my back along the long sandy beach in Hamilton Island. I cannot ask for another perfect day similar to this one, as the cloudless, bluish sky is so clear and the tepid water near the ocean shore feels refreshing as if I am able to walk on holy water.  Heaven must look like this, I wonder, as it is so peaceful when I'm trying to relax in such a lovely Paradise. Sometimes I wonder why people come here and completely isolate themselves on such a lonely Island? There is no doubt that having time alone is the key to perfect meditation for the soul and mind. Needless to say, the food in the Great Barrier Reef is beyond your imaginations! The restaurant close by serves Super Fresh seafood, ranging from yellowfin tuna to the rare shellfish that has never been described in the encyclopedia. However, it is sad to say that some of these species are now endangered,  since they have been consumed by human beings for their freshness, texture, and flavour.

Pick one natural wonder of the world and learn to PEE

The Northern lights, known for its breathtaking, majestical sea of colors, undoubtedly seize its place in the podium as one of the most astonishing  7 natural wonders of the world. However, since the lights are a sight of a natural phenomenon, this miracle is not guaranteed to be spotted with certainty, referring to the long hours of waiting, and conclusions drawn with disappointing outcomes. In fact, relating to its unpredictability, there are several locations to visit while hunting down the lights, ranging from Norway, Iceland, Sweden, and even Canada! All distanced near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, within the Norwegian Arctic. Out of all these possible destinations, I picked Tosmo, a small town located in Norway. To experience the unique lifestyle within the frigid, cold land, at the same time to take the opportunity of trying Reindeer meat, whale steak, or even seal meat!


Could you even imagine sleeping in   a room completely constructed with ice and snow? Taking a rest in a room operated by the ice hotel feels as if arriving at Elsa’s ice castle. With exquisitely designed and sculpted snow figures by your side, as well as the thermal protection and reindeer blanket, the hotel provides you a warm and comfortable stay. Be mesmerized by the waves of shades, soaring across the limitless sky while enjoying your relaxation time in the hotel. The icehotel provides the most excellent view, perfect to capture and become captivated by the awe-inspiring sight. As the long duration of waiting passes by, we tilt our heads and gaze towards the sky, and see the fascinating colors slowly becoming detectable, as if dancing in a perfect and coordinated rhythm with the stars. While the  numerous waves of shades collide and blend with each other, it could be described as fuming fire spreading freely in the wide open sky. The strong, vibrant colors create great juxtaposition, making an utterly majestic, yet unique color palette. With the sublime amalgamation of blue, purple, green, at the same time getting the glimpse of pink, yellow, or even the hints of red. (if you're lucky) The Northern lights are just like a river of spirits, lost in the midnight blue. 

The aurora Boriealis not only blows people's minds, and calms our souls, it also  inspires and exists as  the fundamentals of numerous stories as well as cultures. Despite/within the various ideas from different ethnic groups all have one thing in common. The Northern lights are a spiritual representation, their guide of life, and most importantly the symbol of hope, and faith.
