Third culture kids learning to be themselves

Today it’s all about the word “LEARN”. You may have seen the 3 short films called MOVE, EAT, and LEARN. Well I am writing a post on each word. The first post was <a […]

I am so excited. I just discovered a new book all about third culture kids. I just can’t wait to get my hands on it. I have a love for books anyway, but if the books are on subjects that I am interested about then […]

Hey TCKs! I need pictures, video clips (.mov) of the homes you grew up in for my latest performance installation piece titled “Habitat”. It will be screened onto a white wall, ceiling, or floor as part of the […]

The last post was My 10 advantages of growing up in another culture. This week it is about the disadvantages of growing up in another culture. I do think the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages but […]

I have been a TCKid for a number of years now. I do not always reply to discussions but usually read them, much like facebook I suppose. I do not have the need to put all the nitty gritty of the days activities on […]

I discovered the term TCK when I was feeling depressed and browsing the internet. One of the best things I have done, my discovery of people who might feel as lonely and confused as I do was relieving.
I still […]

I find airports to be very bittersweet. Airports are wonderful places when you are arriving to say hello to those you have missed. Returning back to your family, relatives, friends. Those times makes […]

              All of us write about the dreaded question asked of us so many times. I am going to term it “WAYF?” (Where Are You From?) You know that every time you go to some event, some new group, some new job […]

Few questions are as problematic as, where are you from? For me, this question would immediately be met with a dart of the eye or a notable pause in the conversation. Regardless of what answer I give, more […]

Everyone has their story. Here’s mine. I was born in Philippines. At 5 years old, my family moved to Brunei. Soon after Brunei, my family moved to Canada. I was out of my passport country for a total 10 years. We […]
