Folks,
I now completed my journey and reached Alaska. As you can see from the picture, life is too hard and harsh in here... There's no one that you can talk, you can spend time with... You're alone by your thoughts, books and the nature. Trees, snowy mountains, mooses, frozen lakes, artless world.... These are the things that society thinks you can see in Alaska. But you know, this is not true. You're seeing yourself in Alaska. How strong are you, your limits, your purpose of living...
I think you all want to know how I spend my days. Well I can honestly say that it's quite boring. In Alaska when you wake up there's no one who can prepare you a breakfast :( So the first thing I'm doing is going to hunting. If I am lucky enough I'm catching a squirrel or a bird and start to cook it. When I am unlucky, I spend hours to find a prey then I quit and look for edible herbs. When I finish eating I'm diving into the novels of Jack London and Leo Tolstoy. (I suggest you all to read these authors... They're just perfect man!) If I can drop the book I'm starting to think about my past and my future. The opportunities that I missed and the ones that I created. The hardest part of living into the wild is safety and shelter. I was too lucky to find that bus. But some nights this bus is not satisfying me. Even if I burn some woods I still could't get warm. Also some nights I hear bear and wolf sounds and honestly they are scaring me... But these conditions couldn't prevent my goal. Despite all these obstacles I'm going to continue my adventure. I think this is a part of my characteristic. Never quiting in the middle of something. I love to compell my limits :)
Guys, I want to talk about my moose story. When I killed it I thought that I completely learned how to live in wilderness. Then I remembered the advice the man, I didn't remember his name gave me while I was working for my lovely friend Wayne. So first of all I started to take of mooses organs and cut it's meat. Then I went to find some wood and lichen to cook the meat. You know what, that was the exact moment when I did a big mistake which caused me to stay hungry. I've got to find the woods before I started to cut the moose but I didn't look for them. So as a conclusion the larvas and bugs started to appear on my meat and I couldn't eat anything. After this event I felt so sorry because I took an animals life for nothing...

Hey Guys,
There's a map that shows my path. My journey was started in Emory University. I passed from different places. I hitchhiked, I did canoo, I traveled in wagon train, I met with a lot of different and valuable people and even I killed a moose which became an unforgettable moment for me. As you can see from the map, this is a hard and roundabout path. You know what, I think this is my another characteristic.... Always choosing the hardest paths, reach to the unreachable places and realize my dreams no matter what. Another important symbol of my journey is my belt. I engraved some unforgettable places and memories to my belt.
