Back in the early 90's there was a young man named Christopher McCandless who went by the name of Alexander Supertramp. He was a vagabond, of sorts, that traveled the country by foot trying to find a meaning to the questions he had about life. He ultimately made it to Alaska where he lived for a few months and then died. This is a wonderful book to read for anyone who likes traveling. It is also very similar to the movie, although the book is better.
