If i were a journalist traveling to Equatorial Guinea i would be very interested in living the live of a person who lives there. once i got there i would check for the best villages to stay in and villages that are safe but very like a typical village, because as a reporter i have to do job to the best of my ability. once i got to a village i would taste some of there exquisite queasiness. once i did that i would try to play soccer which is there countries most popular sport to my best ability to try to fit in. after that i would stay and get to see the life they live. i would stay an extended time to get the best of the experience. once i would be done id like many great memories and knowledge about Equatorial Guinea. This is Cameron Simon signing out.

If i was a journalist who was traveling to Equatorial Guinea i would be very interested to go on some fascinating journeys. i would explore the culture and really try to get a feel of what the people experienced. id try to get to know them and bond with them. i would start with trying to play sports with them even though im not very good at soccer, there countries main sport. then i would try some of there food and see what they eat on a regular basis. i would stay there for an extended time to really report the right way which is become a person of there community. its not the safest place in the world but with my profession i would take the sacrifice.
