It is the 19th century. You have just read an article in a newspaper that someone has found gold in the mountains of Canada.

You are poor and think you will try your luck. But you live in a city in Britain. So you sell all that you have and buy a ticket on a ship bound for Canada.

Write a diary of what the sea crossing was like, how you found out more when you got to Canada, how you got to the prospecting area, how you bought what you needed and your first winter in the mountains.
