Where The Wild Things Went

     Leaving this place we call "home" and going to any place we want. . .doesn't seem so bad. It sound pretty great actually! Now the hard thing would probably be choosing the right place to go. Then again what is the "right" thing these days? I could say Alaska like the book Into The Wild but I want to do my own thing.
     SO i have decided! I would head off to GREENLAND :D yeah, that sounds great. Ever since I was a kid people told me stories about how Greenland was made of ice and Iceland is all, well, green! I always thought that was pretty cool how the founders named them like that.

Greenland is located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. As you see here on this map to the left, Canada is one of Greenland's bordered countries. The capital of Greenland is Nuuk. Their university is located in the capital. Greenland is the world's largest island in land area.

     Haha, if I were to leave, I'll probably first decide on a month or two but in reality I'll start my own life over there, start anew. No one knows who you are, give a different name and have a fresh chance and start over. Greenland has a small population so it seems like a simple place. Some may ask: what about the cold? What about it? I LOVE winter, the snow, seeing my breath, being able to walk on sold ice (with precaution of course)  It will be kind of sad to leave my family here and the very few friends i have, as hard as it was to make them, but every bird needs to leave it's nest, right? TIME FOR ME TO FLY!

     At first I would probably take a plane using a different name, cops in today's world can get a hold on that information, and i really don't want to be found. Then I'll just adjust to the transportation that is offered to me. If I have to walk, no problem, exercise is good for you. Car? Why thank you but it's pretty snowy and it's quite dangerous. Boat? Canoe? Thank you, it'll be easy to pass the bodies of water. I'm using the word "easy" lightly here, doing it would actually be a challenge. Easier said than done.

     For food. . .I haven't really thought about that. I'm a vegetarian so I won't have to worry about hunting animals. Haha it'll be nice if i could rip off plants and eat those. But of course, a procrastinator like me, waiting until the last minute to actually worry about food. I don't eat much in the first place, I'll hopeful meet a nice family and ask to stay a few nights, if they like me they may let me stay. Not for free of course. I'll more than gladly help around the house, cook, and tend to things.

     While away from this "home" it would be wonderful to experience life in a whole new way. Being on your own and actually being able to live however you want, following your dreams, and just living is something that everyone needs to try. While in Greenland I plan to reach a point where I'm truly happy and can actually be proud of what I have accomplished. Some sense of self-love instead of self-loathing. I just want to be happy and accomplish everything on my list. I don't know how to explain it. The words are there but I'm not sure how to type them.

     One thing I do know is that in order to make my experience something to remember forever somewhere other than my brain, I will be taking my Camera and notebook with a pen. I will be writing everyday and taking pictures of the people I meet, places I've been, things I'll do, and even the place where I sit, sleep, EVERYTHING. I want to remember absolutely everything, and maybe one day when I pass on to wherever people go when they die, someone will find my notebook and pictures and it'll mean something to them.

     Planning this out actually made me want to go off and do this now. But sadly, we still money to do what we want. I wonder how McCandless did it all. . .it was a truly brave thing to do.
