Into the Wild

How would Chris's adventure be different with today's technology?

-With today's technology, Chris's adventure would have been a lot easier. He could have used today's smartphones and fast 4g speed to use Google Maps to get around without getting lost. Chris could have also used his cellphone to call for help when he needed help or check the weather to see if it was a good day to go hitchhiking. Chris could have done a lot with today's technology, but knowing Chris, he would have ignored today's technology if he started his adventure with it. 

The Amazon Rainforest

-Where are you going?  Why?  Where is it on a map?

I am definitely going to the Amazon Rain-forest which is located In South America. I will start my journey in Brazil since 60% of the rain-forest is there. I would want to go to the Amazon Rain-forest because it is a magnificent beautiful. The climate is nice and the environment is wonderful. Also, it is the largest tropical rain forest in the world and it is filled with so many different species, that just gets me interested in going there.

-How long will you be traveling?

I would probably stay in the Amazon rain-forest for probably a few weeks to months. If I do manage to go one day for real, then i would study everything about the rain forest, the animals, environment, everything. who knows how long that could take so I say from a few weeks to a few months.

-How do you plan to travel? Why are you choosing this mode of transportation?

Since I'm very far away from South America, I think traveling by plane will be the smartest choice. Traveling by plane won't be that expensive, it's affordable for me. It will take ages to get to South America if I were to go walk over there, South America is another Continent! Not everyone likes to walk to another continent. Traveling by plane is the easiest way to get to Brazil right now.

-What will you need for your trip? How are you going to provide food/traveling expenses while you're on the road?

I will need many things for my trip. It's common sense really, I would need to take clothes, somewhere to keep my clothes in like a luggage, money for food, a camera to take pictures with and record videos, toothbrush, a journal with a pencil/pen, shoes and sandals, and my passport for the airport, that's about it. As for the food, I won't be going alone to the forest, I researched about this and there are tons of companies that do tours up the river into remote sections where you are literally in the middle of the rain forest.

-What do you want to accomplish on this trip? 

I want to learn more about the wildlife. I want to learn more on how animals live in the rain forest. I want to learn more about the environment over there. There are so many things I will like to know about the Amazon Rainforest. Basically, I just want to learn about the wildlife and live out there for a while.

-How will you record your experiences?

With a camera and a journal. What else can I record my experiences with? I can record videos with the camera and take pictures, and with the journal, I can record some information and start journal entries in it.

The Amazon Rainforest is the wildlife I want to be in someday.
