Travel Movies

1. Into The Wild (2007)

Into The Wild is the true story of Christopher McCandless, a recent college graduate who gives away his live savings and hitchhikes to Alaska. He meets all kinds of people along the way, each with their own stories.

In Alaska, he heads out into the wilderness to live on his own. Moreover, his life is filled with random adventures and experiences while he makes his way up to “The Last Frontier”.

Furthermore, this is what travel is all about to me. Experiences, good and bad, make you who you are.

And long term travel is FULL of new experiences. Moreover, the key is to not completely get in over your head (like Christopher did). ” – harrismcteyd
