The wild was a place where Chris Mccandless was able to let go of everything, he believed that Ron would find the same peace as well as happiness if he explored just a bit. Throughout the book there is plenty of evidence where Mccandless shows that he doesn’t really need to be social or need new things to be happy.

The reason for Columbus’s voyage was to find an alternate trade route to the Spice Islands And at this time the passage required Spain to go through the Mediterranean Sea.
