Alexander Supertramp (Chris McCandless)
A man who has inspired me above all others: Christopher McCandless, an Emory University Graduate decided to give all of his life savings to charity. After disposing of all his ID he spent two years traveling across the America using the alias "Alexander Supertramp" with the eventual goal of reaching Alaska for his "Great Alaskan Adventure". He lived in the Alaskan wilderness for several months until he died of starvation on August 18 1992. He was found 3 weeks later by moose hunters.
Chris was a man of Morals and he could never understand why there was so much hatred and violence in the world, he disappeared so that he could find the true meaning of Happiness.
On his death bed he carved a message stating "True happiness is not real unless shared" I really believe that is a quote to live by
His adventure has been documented in the book "Into the Wild" where accounts of his journeys were taking from his journal and the friends he made along the way. It has also been made into a film, suprisingly called "Into the Wild"!
I really recommend either reading the book or watching the film
RIP Alexander Supertramp
