Mission to Cambodia: The Journey to the other side of the world

By Kelsey Bivacca, Nurse Practitioner student

Today we arrived at the Nashville airport on May 12th at 5:30am, and took off to Detroit, then Detroit to Seoul, then Seoul to Phnom Penh. Currently I am sitting on the plane about to depart to on the longest leg of the trip to Seoul, and am feeling upbeat and excited for the new environment we’re about to be entering.

Mid flight one of the passengers needed medical attention and the instructors all jumped up to help, getting an early start to our trip. The passenger was all right and grateful for the help.

The flight was LONG, We got to watch lots of movies, sleep, and eat a lot of food that was served every few hours. I think we were all grateful to finally touch down and depart the plane.

We have now made it to Seoul and it’s May 13th 6pm, and we are waiting to get on our final flight to Phnom Penh. The airport here is amazing, it is so clean and quiet compared to our American airports.

And now we have finally made it to our final destination! We all arrived safely to the Golden Gate Hotel, feeling all kinds of different things related to sleep deprivation and excitement. This is the end of our travel journies for now, and ready to check out this country tomorrow! Peace out, Cambodian dreams 🙂
