I forget to write on Tumblr in the same way that I write on Instagram, as I figure folks just see my photos here with a less personal experience than other social media platforms. But hi, I’m Lauren. I spent the last 5 months working in Denali National Park (Alaska) and it was the most challenging/rewarding season of my life. I recently wrapped up working for the park and have been spending some time with friends in the Lower 48, sharing stories of Alaska and field work deep in the tundra. Though I learned a lot about self-sufficiency and independence while in the Last Frontier, I’m happy to have a quick moment between parks to be with friends and family, as Christopher McCandless (pictured above) said it best: “Happiness [is] only real when shared.”#IntoTheWild

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
