Expedition Planning

Well there is lots to do between now and my trip to Ecuador in July 2020!

Firstly there is the financing issue... I want to raise as much money as possible myself as I think it is important for young people to be aware of money rather than just assuming the 'Bank of Mum & Dad' will pick up the bill!

Therefore I have lots of fundraising activities planned between now and July 2020... click here to view my planned Fundraising Events.

As well as fundraising I am also organising and planning the following:

Publicity

Publicity will include the following:

• Press Releases
• Website Blog
• Social Media Posts
• Pop-Up Roller Signs*
• Printed Clothing (supplied by Personalised With Perfection)

*If you can sponsor & supply a couple of Pop-Up Roller Banners, please let me know by contacting me!

Fitness & Preparedness

Being prepared for my expedition to Ecuador means getting ready for a chance of a lifetime:

• Get physically fit (helped by my Fundraising Events)
• Get prepared for loss of home comforts
• Learning basic Survival Techniques
• Get ready for writing by 'on the ground' Blog

Expedition Equipment

While we are not going to be surviving 'Bear Grylls' style, and our accommodation is as safe as it can be, there are still lots of equipment I need to purchase to ensure I have everything I need for my trip:

• Backpack - a suitable backpack to carry a days worth of supplies at a time
• Mosquito Net - probably one of THE most must-have essentials required in the jungle!
• Water Bottle - with filter so water can be guaranteed clean
• Emergency Water Straw - just in case, allows you to drink from any water source
• Torch - a good quality torch is a must!
• 'Survival Kit' - Compass, Para-cord, Flint, Whistle, Signal Mirror, Space Blanket etc

If you would like to sponsor any of these items that would be wonderful! I will create an 'Amazon Wishlist' with a list of all the expedition equipment I need... come back soon and check it out!
