Working with Enchanting Travels, I’ve created a photo post spanning the last decade of what we consider to be some of the most magical and spiritual places in the world. Some are personal to me and some are from the travel photographers at Enchanting Travels, but all of them reveal something special and unique about the world we live in — featured in no particular order of greatness. Enjoy.

5. Norway, mountains outside of Tromso
Just before the Midnight sun on a 12 hour walk up and down the snowy mountains of northern Norway in 2007. It may not be the northern lights, but the beauty and magic of this place is indescribable, and it’s completely untouched by tourism.

9. India, Madurai
I had the pleasure of staying in the Sivananda Ashram in Madurai in 2011, which was such an incredible experience. Madurai might not be one of the most well known parts of India, but it’s home to some of the most magnificent temples in the country. Photograph by Enchanting Travels

11. India, Rishikesh, Ganga Aarti
I recently completed my second yoga teacher training a short walk from here and had the pleasure of going to the Ganga Aarti ceremony, which is a devotional evening to celebrate and show gratitude to the holy River Ganges. — Photo by Parmarth Niketan Ashram

13. Vietnam, Cat Ba Island
Sitting by the sea and gazing into the changing skies. Being on this island is like watching a film on fast-forward — the colours change so dramatically from hour to hour and day to day. Photograph by Clare Hudson

If you ever get the chance, travel to Luang Prabang along the Mekong River by boat from Thailand. The journey in itself is beautiful. Photograph by Enchanting Travels

20. Glastonbury Festival
This post wouldn’t be complete without Glastonbury — often named the heart chakra of the work. Watching Stevie Wonder play in 2010 on the Pyramid Stage was such an incredible and magical experience, that I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Photograph by Clare Hudson
