Reykjavik, 2013.

A couple weeks ago, I went to Reykjavik, Iceland, with a group of university friends. It was one of the most beautiful experiences ever. Geysers spraying boiling water out of the natural earth, Gullfoss waterfall (which held just so much presence – definitely the big boss at any nature conference), riding chubby Icelandic ponies through icy hills. It makes you take a step back and think, wow, this is the world, this is purely elemental, and this is what true beauty is. The best reality check you could ever imagine. Please go at some point, it’s definitely worth the visit (and maybe you’ll have more luck with seeing the Northern Lights than we did…)
