Alexander Supertramp

Christopher Johnson McCandless, may he rest in peace, was a man of rare vision in his time, whose life is an inspiration, and revelation all in the same telling. The movie 'Into the Wild', captures his life, revealing his conscious spirit, sharing the humanity that drove him to rebuke social convention, and embrace truth over the trappings of luxury his parents wished to extend to him.
Studying the social injustices of the Motherland, and African politics in college, he later donated his savings of 24,000.00 to Oxfam America, with the wish that the hungry be fed, and stepped out into the world shedding his birth name, and taking on another after meeting a couple who called themselves 'Rubber Tramps', because they did their journeying in a brightly colored bus, as opposed to leather tramps who did their traveling mostly on foot.

He would go on to meet and stir the hearts of many that he came into contact with, from fellow wanderlusts to an old man who lived alone leather working in his workshop and would later desire to adopt Alexander Supertramp as his grandson. Alexander eventually found, as fate would have it, a 'magic bus' in his desire to reach Alaska. Before the film reveals that he has referred to it this way, it's magical nature is already apparent on film.

Alexander transcended much there, and most notably he came to know that 'Happiness is shared', before he rose above this material plane from the magic bus and joined the universe again, in spirit.

May his pure heart rest in peace, and much peace be upon his family.
