Third Culture Kid (Episode 79)

Published: Jan. 31, 2022, 11 a.m.

In this episode, you will be listening to Ina, who is living abroad in China! Ina discusses what it's like growing up as a Third Culture Kid (TCK), which has spent significant time outside of their parent's culture and lived a considerable amount of time outside the country in which they were born. Ina gives us great insight on the complexities around being a TCK, how she dealt with moving from country to country every few years as a child (she has lived in 5 different continents!), the advantages and disadvantages of the lifestyle, and why identifying "home" is difficult. Finally, she talks bout how being a TCK has shaped her into the person she is today. Hope you enjoy!
