It’s finally here! Tomorrow we arrive in Incheon and will make our way to Woosong University in Daejeon. To prepare, I got all of my travel documents in order, bought a few last-minute travel items, and packed. Luckily, I was able to close my suitcase last night, which takes a load off. The last order of business was taking a COVID test today. South Korea requires a negative PCR or RAT test result to enter the country, and travelers must submit the result to obtain a Q-Code. The Q-Code is a QR code that shows we’ve been vaccinated and have tested negative for COVID—it’s like an extra layer of protection that will ultimately decrease the likelihood of catching/spreading the virus while in Korea. My results came back negative, so I’m good to go! Leading up to this point, I was surprised to find myself less nervous than I anticipated. I thought I would become more and more stressed as our departure got closer, but I’ve been too busy to even think about the nerves. Of course, I do have a little bit of anxiety as I have never been out of the country without family, but with the help of our faculty and cohort, I feel very well prepared. Words can’t describe how excited I am to finally travel abroad with such a great SF State community. It’ll be an unforgettable, life-changing experience and I’m looking forward to learning how I will grow as a person throughout the program. I’m wishing my classmates and I safe travels and a fun experience over the next three weeks! -Madeleine
