The happy wanderer.

Ever have one of those days where you feel like you have no sense of direction in your life? And you know what you want but you're just "to lazy" or you're apathetic in general?

Why not up and leave everything and go hike Alaska... It sure worked for Christopher McCandless. He ended up writing the book 'Into The Wild' which evidently inspired that movie with the same name that's playing in your theaters these days.


Snooped off of wikipedia:
Christopher Johnson McCandless (12 February 1968 – 18 August 1992) was an American wanderer who died near Denali National Park after hiking alone into the Alaskan wilderness with little food or equipment. Jon Krakauer wrote a book about his life, Into the Wild, in 1996, which inspired a 2007 film of the same name directed by Sean Penn and starring Emile Hirsch.
