About Me

My photo
After getting my first passport in 2006 and traveling to climb Kilimanjaro in Tanzania my life changed. I began the process of getting rid of all my possessions and traveling the world. Traveling to over 125 countries and all 7 continents, hostels have been my home. This "new life" has taught me what is important and it was NOT accumulating money or possessions. Traveling is the best education. I hope my blog will encourage others to travel. My World Tattoo was a way for me to express my PASSION FOR TRAVEL.

NORTHERN LIGHTS (Aurora Borealis)

March 16, 2016

After 4 flights and 10 hours of flights I arrived in Fairbanks, Alaska at 1am. Nice hostel. Have Chena Hot Springs booked for 19th to see the lights but looking cloudy with low activity. 

 I have another  aurora excursion for Chena Hot Springs ($175) booked for Saturday but forecast looks like there is little opportunity then with cloudy and snow forecast.

Scrambling , today I finally found 1 company not completely booked tonight for $110. Forecast is clear with high aurora activity expected. Crossing my fingers. Leave at 10 pm and return at 2 am. GREAT NIGHT

Included pics from Chena trip that included an ICE BAR.

I booked 4 nights at hostel in Fairbanks for this trip. It was great experience  and 1 night the owner woke us up at 2 am and showed us the NORTHERN LIGHTS  in backyard of hostel in downtown Fairbanks.
