I will have my wonderful, beautiful, smart, and amazing aunt and my all loving perfect mother who never gets a break to guide me on this journey.
The 49th state is one of the few remaining places in America that has not been devastated by humankind.

    Nature and all its glory is beautiful, scenic, and is completely different from the feeling any city provides. Some like to go to wild areas for the peace and quiet alone. I also can sympathize with McCandless’s desire for freedom. Young adulthood is one of the most stressful parts of most people’s lifetime.
