4. Jarrad Seng, Iceland.

quiet nights alone with the aurora ✨ this was the brightest display I think I’ve ever witnessed. it was -7 degrees, I was shaking from the cold, exhausted after an all-day drive across the country and falling asleep whilst standing. but there was no way I was letting my eyelids close. these are the moments I’ll treasure for a lifetime.

I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me. #Emerson Currently finishing the incredibly lyrical White Oleander. I leave Thursday for my volunteer trip with @proofeyewear and @helpintl, I would love any book suggestions for the plane! 🙂 #travelTuesday Photo from a rad and relaxing day with @everchanginghorizon #Hawaii #happyplace
