***An Important Travel Advice That Travelers Should be Aware of***

"When Gallien asked whether his parents or a friend knew what he was up to- whether there was anyone who would sound the alarm if he got into trouble and was overdue- Alex answered that no, nobody knew of his plans, that in fact he hadn't spoken to his family in nearly two years" (Krakauer 6).

In Alex's trip, he had made a big mistake- not telling anyone about his plan. The problem is that Alex is so confident about himself through out his trip thinking that he will never be run into danger. He might never thought about how he will end up dying in his trip. Because of his overconfidence, he never prepared any solutions in case of any difficult situation happens, which leads him to death. Moreover, he never tell anyone his travel plan. So when he have disappeared for a long time, no one noticed where he went, and therefore the others have missed the opportunity to rescue him. From his mistake, we could learn that we should communicate with someone close to us( it does not necessarily be our family) like friends or coworkers, so that when we are in danger, they will be able to help us based on our information provided.
