Some of the most valuable lessons we've learned through our travels are to let go (of fears, negative thought patterns, money insecurities, etc...) and to trust that the universe has our backs, always. It's fundamental and essential to be in a constant state of knowing that everything will unfold naturally and perfectly along the way... even without our ego's constant interference... gasp! ;)
Also-- to realize that we are constantly manifesting absolutely everyone around us, everything that surrounds us and everything that we experience in this 3-dimensional reality-- that is important, too.
Once you become consciously aware that you are in complete control of creating every moment of your own reality, a dimensional shift takes place-- you are all of a sudden responsible for everything that you experience (including your emotions-- so, don't worry, be happy!) and the physical plane that once felt so dense and so solid begins to feel a whole lot lighter. You might realize that the possibilities truly are infinite, that we do live in a benevolent, joyful, beautiful universe, and that experimenting with conscious manifestation can be a lot of fun!
Isn't the meaning of life, after all, to enjoy it?

Things have really unfolded on our journey since my last entry:
Last Thursday Davi dropped us off in the center of Reykjavik. The city is incredible, definitely the most beautiful and the cleanest one I've ever visited. (I'll be posting pictures asap, unfortunately the connection is too weak to do it at the moment.) We had a great time walking around the city sightseeing and reading our books at cafes for most of the day. We pitched our tent behind a hostel and camped out for the night, it was great. When we woke up on Friday we decided to take a bus to a small town 15 km outside of the city called Mosfellsbaer, where we could be closer to nature. The town was magical! And the gigantic mountains that we could see in the distance were stunning. After pitching our tent on the most beautiful hillside, we got pizza and explored the town until midnight with the sun shining down on us the whole time. The following day we hiked around the area for hours, we spent time at waterfalls, next to rivers, in green fields and in horse pastures. That night we made a tiny little campfire in one of the fields to cook our dinner over, we made carrot/lentil soup. When we woke up on Sunday it was raining, luckily we had previously arranged to pack up and leave later on that day to go to a girl's house who we found on couchsurfing, Evelyn. The bus ride was only about 30 minutes, and we got dropped off right in front of her house on the beach. We arrived to Evelyn's house soaking wet from the rain and she instantly welcomed us into her home and offered to make us dinner; we ate a soupy, spicy mixture of beans and yams on spelt tortillas, it was delicious! She moved here from Switzerland a few years ago to teach kindergarten; she is adorable and hilarious and her precious accent makes conversations that much more fun (especially when she asks us things like "So, what is your village like in Virginia... are there dangerous animals there, in your forest?" We instantly connected with her and staying at her house feels the same as spending the night at a good friend's. Today we lounged around for most of the day drinking tea and reading, when the sky cleared up around 3 we went for a walk down the coastline for hours. I've never seen so much tumbled sea glass on a beach in my life! I'm excited that now I have a super colorful collection. When we got back to her house after the walk, Tristan and I made dinner for everyone-- spicy carrot/lentil/sweetpotato/coconut milk soup! Evelyn seemed to enjoy it and it was super satisfying after a long cold walk. After dinner Evelyn offered to take us horseback riding on the beach with one of her horses; we were out there until 11:00 pm it was INCREDIBLE! I will definitely be posting pictures soon...
