10 Quotes by Christopher McCandles of Into the Wild

10 Quotes by Christopher McCandles of Into the Wild

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer

Lifeline – that’s how one of my fellow hikers described the book “Into the Wild” while we were climbing the highest peak of the Philippines years back. He discussed about how life changing the thoughts of Christopher McCandles (or Alexander Supertramp) were. And how the book guided him in pursuing a life that truly matters.

Because of curiosity, he lent me his…

Travel Blog-The Vivid Minimalist

Hey, y’all. So, I haven’t shared this with y’all yet, but I actually run a travel blog in my free time. I haven’t worked on it in a while, but recently, the spark for it has revived, again.

I…

This is about my dreams.

I have a dream to be a travel writer. For those of you who don’t know, a travel writer is one who travels around the world, and blogs about their experiences. Whether it’s about food, or culture, or adventure, or travel tips, it’s whatever they want, and it’s about life.

I’ve…always had a fascination about life. What drives human beings, the force that connects us all, what we’re really made for, and made of- but what really fascinates me is beauty. I’m a very beautiful person, and I recognize a lot of beauty in others. In the world, it’s a lot less hidden. There’s a lot of ugly things out there, and we’re often not in-tune enough with our world to truly recognize the fucking beauty of this world. It can be as simple as giving someone a smile, or sending someone a positive message- whatever it is, it’s fucking beautiful, and I’m all about that. The little things, the positivity, the message of spreading beauty- that’s all me.

So, this is my blog. This is The Vivid Minimalist. It’s a travel blog of mine, where I include my thoughts and musings on life, and I share my experiences, and what I’ve learned. There’s adventure posts (more oriented towards traveling), poetry (where I write poems on life), photography (where I post a picture, and write a specific descriptive piece on that :), and most importantly- writing. Writing is where I upload all my thoughts- specifically, the bigger pieces on life (for example, I have a post on there on what it means to love). And by life, I mean…love. Humanity. Beauty. Positivity. What makes us tick, and what makes us drive. The emotions we have, and what it means to feel and experience those.

I…I hope I have shown myself clearly enough on this website, as a beautiful, positive, caring, and inspiring person. This blog is just another way for me to express myself, in a more poetic and worldly sense. It would mean the absolute- and I mean, the ABSOLUTE- WORLD if you guys would check it out. It’d make my heart so, SO full, and it’d mean…you were interested enough in me as a person to support me and my dreams. <3 

Just…thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, for supporting me, and even reading this. It means a LOT. Bless your souls, and I hope you have a fantastic day :).

(I’m gonna be attaching a piece of mine to the end of this post, if y’all are interested in reading. Thank you <3.)

(Also! My friend @the-engineer-and-her-avatar also has a travel blog! She too has dreams of being a travel writer :). Y’all should check her out here at Jess Journeys <33, and here’s her Insta! :D)

Here’s my piece (the full piece will be linked). 

Trees strong, monuments of genesis earth

Roots deep like earth-tears, torn from volcanic veins

Clawing down into pit of stomach, into molten core

Stand strong, move it not

Branches,out like black, dust-twisted lightning

Blood-veins of arboreal sap

Curved and bent, by wind’s godly hands

Distortion of straight, zip-zapping madness

Straggling like monuments broken

Crackle and bend, and there, nature’s hand it is.

-

Thank you friends! <3

EXPLORING THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII: SUNSETS AT THE FAIRMONT ORCHID

Kohala Coast Sunset on the Big Island of Hawaii

Gorgeous tropical sunsets are the stuff Hawaiian post cards are made of. The Kona and Kohala Coast of the Big Island offer some spectacular spots to watch the sun dip below the horizon and enjoy the last rays of the day. The lagoon at the Fairmont Orchid Hotel was my favorite sunset spot on my recent trip to the Aloha State.
