Only
having been alive for twenty-three years, Mr. Adrian has performed more
crazy stunts than the average person. Many of these things have flirted
with danger.
He has hitchhiked, bungee jumped, and many more things. Adrian really has
no idea as to why he is in Alaska, but he stated that it is the sense of
adventure that keeps him coming back. He was born and lived in West Virginia,
until he decided to leave. “My parents always trusted my judgment,
so they never really worried about my well-being.” Adrian had hitchhiked
about 20 times and he honestly thinks nothing of it. “ The first
time I hitch-hiked, this guy took me to someone else’s house and
then got into a fight with another guy. Well, the other guy must have meant
danger or something because he pulled out a shotgun and held it directly
to my face. It was kind of scary but totally worth having the experience.” He
was telling me this with such an even voice. Adrian got stuck in Glacial
Silt for about two hours and he wasn’t even scared! The only fear
that drifted through his head was weather or not a bear was going to come.
He just waited and waited for his friends to come back and eventually they
did.
Adrian comes here for the adventure, but he never knows if he’ll
leave again or stay forever. “Last time I came up here and I only
meant to stay for four months, but I ended up staying for a whole year,
so what ever my gut tells me goes.” Adrian is one of those young
people that lives for the moment and lives each and every day as if it
were his last. He is pretty crazy and extreme.” There is probably
a difference between my perspective of crazy and your perspective of crazy.” Adrian
says. |
