Traveling solo is the most exciting thing that could happen to everyone. You will learn many things, and you will be surprised that you could able to do something that you didn't imagine that you can do on your own. In traveling, you will plan your itinerary, plan your visa application, buy tickets, accommodation, transportation cards, or tickets.  I am a fan of solo traveling ever since before, I control my time, and there is no delay for there are things that I already set up to do.  I've been traveling to Asian countries alone and even in other continent, and when I do solo travel, I don't usually stay in a fancy hotel.

One of the bucket lists of most travelers in the world is to witness the dancing Northern Lights in the Arctic Sky. The Northern lights are not easy to find, and they only appear in a few places on earth.  Iceland, the land of fire and ice, is one of the top grounds where you can witness the magical northern lights.

There are many things in the world that we don't realize that is prominent in our waking life, we just don't appreciate it because our heart wants more.  Light and dark cannot co-exist just like gratitude and disturbance. You have to choose one that is good for you.  We often complain about the small things and don't appreciate that we have all we need. Nowadays, let's remind ourselves to be thankful for the little things and begin to be appreciative. Be grateful that you have food on your table, a roof over your head, clothes to wear, a house to make you safe, and most of all for your life. When we have a grateful heart, it doesn't mean that we will not be going to strive for more, it just simply teaching us how to be appreciative with humility in our hearts. It gives inner healing, peace, and provides positive outcomes on what we do in life. Thus, if you feel like you are the most unfortunate person in the world, just deem of something you are grateful
