Christopher McCandless

One reason there are more male members of this forum is because as males we identify with Chris at the personal level, we see ourselves in him, we intuitively understand his inner frustration with the world. More women I think feel a maternal instinct to want to rescue him and set him back on track...

I'm 22 and I've also never met anyone who's shares a deeper perspective on Chris's story as I do (until I came here of course ) which is ashame seeing as one could have numerous interesting discussions just from this one story, I'd be happy to exchange emails with people, simply send me a PM

For me persoanlly, I'd have to say it's given me new perspective on life as a whole, the importence of people, appreciating the cards you've been dealt, and to never conform to anything that goes against your own truth regardless of the consequences imposed by society. It's inspiring
