It was a tiring journey. For all of us, it was our first time travelling internationally. Nevertheless, we had fun and made the most of the trip.

They were happy to greet us with open arms when we eventually arrived in Kendari after a two-day trip. It was frightening but exciting for me to arrive in a new atmosphere. I simply want to express my gratitude to Ma'am Ade, our coordinator from Universitas Halu Oleo, who made us feel secure upon arrival and was very accommodating.

Saint Mary's University and Saint Louis University, two additional Philippine universities, were with us. It was interesting to meet new people from different regions of our country, and once we got along, I was excited to get to know them.
