UBC Day 10: Feeding the Soul



2 places on your wanderlist
(Only two?)

I HAVE to see the northern lights before I die. I just have to.

Igloo village, Finnish Lapland.
May be overrated, may not be everything I want it to be, may not be even close, but I still want to see this POV at the Times Square.

Times Square, NYC
The world is waiting for me, it is waiting 
with all its nooks and cozy corners,
Cold icy winds and warm beaches.
Scintillating cities and expanses of deserts.
Smiling strangers and hostile extremes.
Lights and pitch darknesses, vibrant life and quiet, unchanging days,
Colors and grey. Complicated metrorails and simple teepees.
How the life of a wanderess calls out to me, 
tugging at my heartstrings,
feeding my wanderlust.
How I fall in love with mere pictures,
Daydreaming and wondering if they are not too good to be true. 
One day, I will walk till my destination, 
And then keep walking until there is nothing left to see.
One day. Some day.

    " I am in love with the cities I have never been to and people I have never met"-- John Green. This pretty much sums it up all.

    Someday you will... Inshallah.😊

    If you're going to the igloo village anytime soon, I might accompanying you on the journey. Looks wonderful. :D

    I'll swap New York for Greater Manchester though ;)

    NYC is amazing as hell, you will truly love it there... Northern lights is on my list too and hopefully will see it in the coming years (fingers crossed)... The second place for me is Venice. There is something about that place, that has me in awe. I wanna go to a month long vacation to Italy with my Love...

    PS- Its lovely knowing you through this 10 day challenge :D

    With no intention to enrage or make you cry - Google Plitvice Nationalpark, Croatia and look up the images.

    Thank me later :D
