Things I recommend

-Google image search (or regular search) beautiful/amazing photos.  You'll see a lot of amazing things.  I've found there are innumerable amazing photos/landscapes of Iceland.
-Go to New Zealand.  I haven't really been many places, but this place is incredible.  While you're there, spend as much time mountain climbing ('tramping') in the mountains/rain forest as possible.
-Don't spread yourself too thin.  I think it's better to do too little, than too much.  If you have free time, read a book.
-Read some Aldous Huxley - he's an incredible writer, and will provoke thoughts you'd never considered possible
-Find out what you believe.  Your principles are quite possibly the most important part of 'you' - take lots of time to read, think, and ask questions about what you believe.  I know so many people who tell me they don't think about 'that kind of stuff' - they ought to, it's all you really have.
-Don't fake anything, plain and simple.  This also means not being vague in what you say - say what you mean, and mean what you say (cliche, but think about it, and do it).

What would you recommend by Aldous Huxley - which are your favorites of his books?

Brave New World is doubtlessly his best, but Island is also great. I'm currently working through "Of Ape and Essence" and it's yet to grab me the way some of his other works have.

I've requested Brave New World on BookMooch, thanks for the recommendation!
