Trekking through villages in Myanmar was quite special. As was doing a night dive off of Gili T. in Indonesia, turning off our torches and swimming in almost full darkness except for the quick flashes of lightening above us and the bioluminescent flagellates acting as micro stars underwater.

Random fact I'm trying to remind myself of as I try to reset my sleep schedule: Blue light (from computer and phone screens) mimics sunlight. Melatonin is a chemical produced by the pineal gland in our brains which is what regulates our sleep-wake schedule. This is only able to be produced in the dark, thus, when we're on our phones and computers late into the evening, we are making it harder for us to sleep. There are applications which slowly turn the blue light into red on computers in order to allow the production of melatonin to occur once the sun has set.
