Hi TCKs and Adult TCKs, I grew up in many places just as you did or are doing right now. The longest I lived in one place while growing up was in Yokohama, Japan. After Japan we moved to Alaska, which is part of the US but still far away from the lower ’48. The rest of my story […]

Taken from my blog at https://heyitsjohnnyc.wordpress.com/2012/09/16/how-social-media-has-made-most-tcks-idiots/ The depth of experiences and the diversity of stories that those who travel and undergo great changes in life are sure to make for great conversation starters at a cocktail party.
