Dávid from Zambia – XXXII. Blog Post

04/07/2023

Who is familiar with the movie or book Into the Wild? It's a true story about the adventures of American Christopher McCandless. The guy comes from a wealthy family, the child of affluent parents.

However, during his college years, he decides that after graduation, he will donate his entire savings of $24,000 to charity and burn the rest of his money.

He hitchhikes towards the Alaskan wilderness to live away from society. Unfortunately, Chris's story ends in tragedy, but the film and his original journal entries left behind numerous pieces of wisdom and thoughts for the world's travelers. These inspire me a lot, and Chris's story is very close to my heart.

Christopher met his fate in the Alaskan wilderness, in a bus where he spent his final days.

The bus in the picture is almost a perfect replica of the original. The only difference is that one is in Zambia, and the other is in Alaska.
