Transiting the Atlantic to Israel


Venturing off to JFK International in the early morning for a non-stopper to Tel Aviv to attend school at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Medical School for International Health [MSIH]. (phew)

I have my handy deck of cards (good and necessary for all occasions)Tom's® Toothpaste and Deodorant, and of course a snazzy new phone to take pictures and navigate the waterless canals of the dessert city, Beersheb(v)a, henceforth called B7 for reasons yet to be told to me.

I'm very excited to begin training, meet new people, and get to work.  I don't think it has fully hit me yet that I am partaking in such a journey, but I assume I'll comprehend it soon enough.

I am so lucky to be where I am now; for a long time I've had a strong desire to go out of my comfort zone to see and experience new cultures.  I am of the opinion that there is an underlying unity that exists among us all and I endeavor to find examples of it where it is least expected.

Time to start packing!
