Tramping is too easy with all this money. My days were more exciting when I was penniless and had to forage around for my next meal… I’ve decided that I’m going to live this life for some time to come. The freedom and simple beauty of it is just too good to pass up.

About
Christopher Johnson McCandless was born in El Segundo, California. He was an American adventurer. He graduated from Emory University on May 12, 1990, with a Bachelor's degree, double majoring in history and anthropology. He ventured into the Alaskan wilderness in April 1992 with little food and equipment, hoping to live simply for a time in solitude. Almost four months later, McCandless's starved remains were found, weighing only 30 kilograms. His death occurred in a converted bus used as a backcountry shelter, along the Stampede Trail on the eastern bank of the Sushana River. A full-length article on McCandless also appeared in the February 8, 1993, issue of the The New Yorker magazine.
