Annandale, VA, USA
Annandale is the suburb of D.C. that Chris McCandless grew up in. His Father was a high ranking engineer for NASA until he and his wife started their own company and worked from home. The two of them brought tremendous stress that led to bitter verbal arguments and occasional physical fighting. This left Chris and his sister, Carine, emotionally damaged for many years (and appeared to be the cause for Chris never keeping in touch with family along his journey).
