If I were Chris Mcandless

If I were to go away and just take a break from the life I have right now and live a different one for a couple of years, I would probably spend it traveling all around the world. I have this great passion for traveling and visiting new places and experiencing new cultures. I have lived in three different countries ever since I was born. I was born in Egypt, and then my family moved out we lived in the U.A.E for 15 years, and now I am here in the U.S.

I would probably start off my trip going around Europe and visiting Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Holland and a couple of other places too. I always wanted to go to Malaysia, since I’ve heard from a number of people that it’s the most beautiful place that they have ever been to, so that would probably be my first stop in Asia, and from there I’ll probably go around the area and visit China and Japan and learn more about their culture. Then I would go down to Australia, and then go to South Africa and a couple of other places in Africa and from there I would go to South America where I always wanted to visit Brazil and Argentina. I would probably end my trip by going to Cuba and the Caribbean islands.

One thing that Chris did that I can never do is travel alone. If I were to go on such a trip, I would not be able to enjoy it, or feel safe unless I’ve got someone else with me. So I would probably have my best friend, who is just as crazy about traveling as I am, to come with me. Also I would keep in touch with my family and friends all the time and let them know where I am going, who I am with and what my plans are and I wouldn’t exclude them from my life ever.I would probably leave after I graduate and spend around 2-3 years just traveling the world.

Unlike Chris, I would, without doubt, carry a lot of money with me and I would keep a phone on me all the time so that I would be able to keep in touch with my family and friends and that way I can get help if I ever needed it. I would carry a camera with me all the time and I would probably have a diary too. I am not sure about the supplies that I am going to need but I would have to be certain that i have a professional explain to me exactly what I am supposed to carry with me at all times.

Changing my name would not be something that I would do since I have no reason to do that. If it happens that I run out of money then I would probably end up working in a fast food restaurant or something similar and obviously my job wouldn’t be prestigious or anything. I am certain that I would enjoy this trip a lot more than if I were to do what Chris did simply because I have someone with me and I would feel a lot more secure and positive about what I am doing.
