Dear diary,

Today was an exausting day. As the summer is over, food is starting to became more difficult to find.

I woke up really early because of the sun and then I heared a snake! A SNAKE! I was really scared but I didn't panic. I woke up my husband and we both made the snake go away by atracting her with food.

Then, I went to find some wood to make a fire but I've got lost. All the trees looked the same so I shout really loud so my husband could hear me but it didn't work. Then I seat for a while and wait but, suddently, I notice that I had been dropping grapes that I had catched before and, I managed to come back.

After a couple of hours, the weather changed and it was really cold. It wasn't easy to make a fire but after trying lots of times, we finally did it.

At the end of the day, I thought everything was fun but really challenging. And that's why I like living this way!

Bye

Dear diary,

Today me and Pete went on a new adventure together! We went hunting! It was exciting to hunt for the first time, althought when I saw the dead rabbit I cried a little, because as you know, I'm vegeterian. But that didn't matter, because we needed protein and we were starving! It wasn't the best meal, but it was all we had.

Later on, we needed something for dinner, and we couldn't decide if we wanted to fish or to catch a bus to a local restaurant, that is really cheap and has really good food. We ended up deciding to fish, because we were low on coins and couldn't go perform on the street, because it was to cold and dark.

We grabbed our fishing cans and headed to the lake. I was able to grab a big fish, wich made me really happy.

After we were done eating, we headed to our hut and fell asleep looking at the stars.

See you tomorrow,

Bye

If i was Miriam Lancewood i will be starting my day with a big dive in the swanp, after in ,the morning, i will be walking around the jungle to search for some food to eat for the rest of the day.

Doing this activities in the first weeks my pshicologic will be thinking that i´m alone and insecure but with the time this thouths will be retired from my pshicologic .

What i've learned from Miriam Lancewood exprience is life can show us more, the nature and the beautiful things of the world , and the life is not be only studying and watch MEDIA and TV and we have more things to do outside of all people on the world and connect with animals and the nature and see what is the real word and not the media and poor world that people show more,more and more nowadays.

Dear Diary,

Today I will talk about my day in the wilderness.

I wake up and my husband wasn't next to me, but he leaved a paper that was saying that he went to the street to earn a little money. Meanwhile he's doing that I went to find some coconuts, to drink. After doing that I felt very happy because I could survive alone, and I learned how to climb a tree.

In afternoon, I went hunt a wild boar and scream to my husband, for help me. We were completely alone in the middle of the wilderness.

I have learned that we will survive to anything that appears in our way. In the wilderness we have learned that simple things are the most important.

I could change my lifestyle afterward that experience. I think that humanity didn't know their capacity to change the world in sec. XIX.

Tomorrow I will write for you again.

Dear diary

Since 2010 my days were ben amazing, my life its very more intresting and fun, also I've learned to do so many things that helps me in my survival life.

During my days I hunt some animals to eat, sometimes I put salt in my meat and envolv whith plastic to conservet the meat. Also when I have some time, I use to upgrade my hut, because It's always important to have a good "home".

When I do that tipe of activetis I feel very fun and my life was a porpus now and I feel very free, also feel very happy.

I've lern to make fire, hunt, and make things from the nature.

Dear diary,

Today was horrific! A very big pig attacked us when we were sleeping in our tent.

At first, we were scared, but, then, my husband was able to kill it and we were safe.

Later, we decided we should cook the animal and eat it because it's not okay to waste a life.

Park meat is really good!

I felt horrible when I saw the killed pig, but we didn't have a choice because the animal was trying to kill us first.

This experience made me learn something very important: never leave food inside the tent at night. The pig must have smelt the apples I had saved for breakfast the next day. That was bad!

Now, I feel safer, but my torch is right by my side ... just in case!

Dear diary,

Today is a new day, today is 27th of September, and I´m in the middle of the florest.

I´ve decided to change all my life. It was a little bit boring, and I started to ask myself if I could survive some days in the middle of nowhere, if I was brave, enought to kill animals, to be alone,... it was, and still is, a really big challeng to me. This life it´s very different from the "normal" ones.

Since I´m here, I think I´ve done to much more things than in my entire life! I´m in this new life for one month. I already have my daily routines.

So firstly, I wake up when the light comes over and then I go to a river or waterfull to take a shower. After that, I have breakfast, and go walking and running. A few hours later, I have lunch and sometimes I take a little sleep after lunch. Then if I don´t have food, I´ll hunt. At night, I have dinner and go to "bed".

To all of these activities that I have, usually I feel happy while I´m doing them, but when I go hunt, for exemple, I feel really sad, because I don´t like to kill animals and that´s really bad, but I have to do this to survive.

I´ve been learning a lot since I´ve decided to go for a new life. I learned that it´s normal to do things that you´ve never imagine to do, enfronting your fears it´s a good thing and believe in yourself that you´re able to do whatever you want.

Bye, bye!

Dear diary!

It's me again Miriam Lancewood living in the middle of the wilderness of New Zealand's North Island, did you miss me?

I've been dealing with some crazy stuff right now, but that's not actualy a problem because i love this tipe of problems. You know, when i was a child i totally didn't imagin i would live in a forest whit my favorit pearson in the world living the best time of my live. We basically do what we want, because here were we live theres not mutch of a pearson. For now the best activity that i've done here it's hunting. I know it doesn't sounde like a cool activity are a save one but since the first day that i've done it i literaly fell in love with it. I've tried to do other activitys, but it didn't change my opinion.

Here i've learn that we have to experience new thing like activitys. I know i already said this but i've never imagin living here in a beautiful place whit my husband that i realy love.

Thanks for your atention again,

Bye

Dear Diary,

It's day 180 of living in the wilderness. My husband Peter and I are being so productive living here, just today we've done maybe 7 km just trying to find a waterfall to have a morning shower. We're thinking of going to a small town to buy warmer clothes for winter because it will get much colder than we expected.

I haven't seen anyone other than my husband in 3 months, and I'm a little nervous and anxious to go there. It can be hard being away from the population for this much time.

I find it rewarding being next to nature because I get to experience and see the wonders of our world. Life is so much more than just phones, politics, and money.

I've learned more in 6 months here than in my whole life, just this past month I've learned how to hunt with an arrow and climb trees, it's a talent I've never thought I would ever have.

Also being next to the Indian tribes that vacation made me learn crucial things about living here like, finding food for every station of the year.

To summarize, being here has been a lot better than I thought it would be, and before coming my expectations were pretty high.

Anyway, see you tomorrow!

With love, Miriam.

Dear Diary,

Yesterday was one of the most difficult days of my life. I had to kill a dear, because we were very hungry and desperately needed some food or we would probably start killing each other. I'm just kidding, don't worry.

I woke up, I'm not sure what time was, because I don't have a clock, but fortenately I learned how to know more less the time judging by de position of the sun. I think it was like 8am. Right after waking up I went for a quick bath in the river. I love this river, it has a amazing waterfall surronded by lots of plants its really beautiful. I must tell you that I actually might prefer to have I bath there than at my own house, its very relaxing. The next thing I did was going hunting with my husband, normally he goes by himself but I've been learning how to use a bow and an arrow. We were really lucky, because we found right away a dear, but I was very nervous because I had never killed an animal before. I grabed my arrow and my bow and pointed to the dear and I hit it at my first try. I was very proud of myself, of my accomplisment, but sad at the same time because I had just killed an inocent animal. Then, we cooked the meat and ate it, I felt a bit bad, but I knew I had to eat meat to survive in the forest. I also collected some berries and other fruits for us to eat and then we went to sleep.

I´ve learned so many things by being here and having to survive in the wilderness. We have to face our fears and believe in ourselfs.

And that was my day,

Byeee, see you for more adventures!

Dear diary, i stay in the wilderness without a mobile phone, it´s juste me and my boyfriend, he agree with me in this adventure,in nother words, he agreed with me on all my adventures. so for survival, i want kill animals, i wan´t take wather in the river and build the same, because it is not drinkable, so now i can drink the wather. for i want have fruit, vegetables and anothers aliments, i need to harvest in the florest. When i arrived i wanted to set up my tent, but now i have a modest house and i took care an everything.

In these day i´ve learned a lot of things about survival, sometimes it´s very dificult but we learned to survival. Sometimes it´s more dificult to find food and the things it is necessary of the house.

But in the outher hand i´m better off this way.

Day 100

Dear diary,

Today it's was a day of hard work.

I woke up to the first rays of sunlight.

Those who live like me in the forest wake up with the sun rising, the birds singing ...

The first thing i did was go hunting. I can do it now without crying. It was very dificult to eat meat again and even more so having to hunt. We are also picking fruits and vegetebles for our meals. All of these takes are done in silence to ensure thy run smoothly. We are alone. It's very good, but there are dificult days, like these we go hunting. I've already learned so much. Nature is so generous and beatiful. The simple things are the most beatiful.

Dear diary,

This is the ninth day that me and my husband have been living in the wilderness of New Zeland, without any sort of tecnology.

In the morning, we woke up and left our tent to go for a swim in a river nearby, it helped us refresh ourselfs and focus for the rest of the day. After that we went to look for food, because we were running low on supplies so I went east and Peter went south. I have learned to distinguish wich berries are poisonous or not and how to climb trees to get to their fruits.

By the time the afternoon started, we had enough food to that could last for a week, we met each other at our hut and decided to go explore places of the forest we didnt visit yet, after we ate of course.

And then, when we came back home it was already nightime, we have been here for a while so finding our way back was'nt hard. Now we are going to sleep, i will write back tomorrow.

Dear diary,

today I ate some cooked fish and I went to explore the forest, today I created a stone knife to split a bunch of wood to put in the bag and hunt some animals to eat because the fish are not in large quantities.

In the middle of the farm I see a fat pig and I kill the pig. On a tree I have many bananas and I climbed the tree and cut the bunch. I went back to camp and saw 2 fat pigs and killed them.

I feel very happy because it was a great experience and I would love to have another experience like this again because it was unforgettable.

I learned to value the things we have now because there was no shower, table or bed for me to enjoy and sleep comfortably or a table that fixed and a good shower to take a shower.

i live in the middle of the forest and i have a sword, a backpack and potato seeds i can plant, i also would have my wife Miriam who would help me upgrading our hut and plant pototas. It was being a normal day until we saw a elephant eating our crops i quickly picked up the sword and it it in the eyes, when blinded the the beast started going on a rampage, me and my ife ran and in the middle of the panic we decided to wait behind a tree till the beast calmed down when it stopped i tiptoed near its blood covered body and striked a final blow, after that holy triump we would feast on its body.

Dear diary,

It´s been a few weeks since I left everything and decided to live in the wilderness, and it's been some wild weeks!

Me and my husband Pete dicided to go to the south, since we didn't want to worry a lot about the cold and the bad weather. We setted up our tent and started to oook for wood so we could light a small campfire at night. The firts night was, surprisingly, very calm.

The next day, when I woke up, my husband told me he was going to get some water at a river right next to the place we setted up our tent. Later, while I was cathing some fruits, I noticed that I had a small injury and I remembered that there could be some aloe vera out there that I could use on the injury, so I went looking for it. Then, when I found the aloe vera plant, I went back to the tent and my husband was already there. He also got some fruits and berries and some coconut so we could drink it's water, it was very good!

At the end of the day, it started to get a little could, so we putted on our coats and lighted up the fire. Here, the nights are very calm and peacefull, you can see the stars very clearly, it's amazing!

Well now I have to go, bye!

Dear Diary

Today we run out of food So i went fishing, but it it didn't go as i expected so i had to go buy some food. I bought some cereal bars, meat, bread and other essential things. As i was on my hut , i started to remembere the times when i had a job, when I could visit my family and friends. Over time I began to learn new survival techniques like new traps that i can make to trap small animlas to eat, another thing that i learned how to make to make these things, such as earrings, necklaces with shells and feathers. But the moust importante one is that some times when i go to bathe in the river i would get out of the water covored in leaches and i would get sick because of them, but now i can put salt on them to take them of.

Let's see how the day goes tomorrow.

Dear diary,

Today has been one of those days!I woke up today at the sunshine and went straight the beach, it was beautiful and came running to me two little friends of mine, Suki and Peter Junior, two baby monkeys who are very generous and climbed up the trees to get me breakfast. Peter walked behind telling me we slept next to an poisining plant and we inhaled the poiseness air, and maybe that was the reason we both were feeling itchy.

We ran a lot, desperategetting our things and change the place tonight. After that we wnet to collect some fruits and plants to make some yummy salads for lunch.

After lunch we went to hangout with our indian friends, we always learn something together, today we learnt too jump too a roap and swing like the Tarzan . That was it, see you tomorrow!
