Inside My First Week in Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

In November 2024, I moved to Papua New Guinea for a 6-month work and travel experience as a nurse educator, and this is what my very first week looked like 🇵🇬 I kick things off in the capital, staying at the stunning Airways Hotel and Resort, one of the most iconic stays in the country overlooking Jacksons International Airport. From settling in and adjusting to the new environment, to soaking in the views and getting my first real taste of life in PNG, it’s an unforgettable start. 💙 RECOMMENDED PLACES TO STAY - Use my affiliate link below: Airways Hotel: https://go.stay22.com/RSxsaJVcF4 From there, I travel over to Lae—a completely different pace of life where things feel more raw, real, and local. The main focus of my work begins at ANGAU Memorial Provincial Hospital, where I step into the emergency department as a nurse educator. I share what it’s like working in a new healthcare system, adapting to resource-limited settings, and the challenges and rewards of teaching and supporting local staff on the ground. This vlog is a raw, honest look at culture shock, first impressions, and what it really takes to start over in a completely new country for work. 📍 Locations featured: Port Moresby Airways Hotel & Resort Lae ANGAU Memorial Provincial Hospital If you’re interested in travel nursing, Papua New Guinea, or long-form travel/work experiences in unique places, this series is for you. 👍 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and follow the journey as I settle into life in PNG over the next 6 months. #expatlife #papuanewguinea #travelnursing Follow our most recent adventures on Instagram -   / goingpacific   If you’d like to buy us a coffee, feel free - https://buymeacoffee.com/goingpacific
