Flying With The Northern Lights

If you have ever read this blog, you'd know that seeing the Northern Lights is where everything started for me. That was my main reason and motivation for leaving a comfortable life for one of constant movement and change.  As I'm writing this, I'm on my third flight of the day, on the first day of my new life. And what just happened on this flight was everything I wanted and more. It was magical.

Flying With The Northern Lights 
What it's like to become one with your dream. 

Right now I have no idea what time it is, and I think we're flying somewhere over Greenland. Not going to lie, it has been a long day of running around airports, waiting in long security lines, and getting almost no sleep for 2 days prior. So let's just say I was really looking forward to sleeping on this overnight flight to Reykjavik, Iceland. 

But what just happened on this flight makes me so happy that I wasn't able to fall asleep. 

Just as the not so comfortable seats of a budget airline were starting to get the best of me, the flight attendant came over the intercom announcing that she was going to turn all the cabin lights off because there is a show going on outside of our windows.

As all of the lights went out, I looked out my window and was in complete awe. It was my dream becoming a reality. 

The Northern Lights were right in front of me. Brilliant green colors moving around and dancing in the sky.  It wasn't like we were just observing them though. It was as if we were part of them. Dancing through the sky with them. 

And for those few minutes, we were just one with the beautiful display of lights. It was the most magical moment that I have ever experienced in my life. Even now that we are past the Auroras, the sky is still putting on a show for this flight. I have never seen more stars than the amount that I am looking at right now. 

I wish everyone had the opportunity to witness what I witnessed tonight. Thank you for a beautiful start to my new life, Auroras!
