Temporary TCKid Home

Thank you life and God for opening ones eyes and setting the heart free, free, free it is when we ask you for freedom and forgiveness. Thank you that we can ask for healing and that others can forgive us just the […]

Manchmal kommen Tage die so Sinnlos sind ganz besonders die wo man sich von allem verschließt weil man nur genervt ist. Heute war so ein Tag. BWL Vorlesung und leider auf einer so einfachen niveau das es echt […]

What makes a day fullfilled, I asked my self this today.We had a short input about this today and I wonder, is it different for each person and only a subjective view?
I asked my self what is a fullfilled day for […]

I was listening to the song, “Oh there’s no place like home for the holidays.” My parents live about 10,000 miles away, my brother about 3,000 miles from me and I am somewhere in the middle.  Home for the Holidays […]

I woke up with new eyes for the world.  It was a long night, tear drenched pillows, cold winter wind biting at my soul but I woke up.  It was a long walk and a longer journey.  The cataracts developed with age, I […]

This morning I woke to a strange sound. My ears prodded my faintly conscious mind awake to this rare phenomenon and it took a few groggy tries to pull myself out of sleep before I recognized what this sound […]

I speak English, Arabic, Spanish and French. In Dubai, nobody seemed to think it was at all special. With friends who were so culturally mixed […]

There are a lot of things I’m learning about Perth, Western Australia and every day there is something new. I generally give something a chance and time to develop, to give me different experiences so that I don’t […]

Today, we went to the Highland Gathering in the suburb of Kelmscott, in the city of Armadale. As the name implies, it is a celebration of all things Scottish! We didn’t know what to expect but figured it would be […]

We were told that Aussies didn’t really celebrate Halloween, so my son’s school organized a “trunk or treat” which entailed parents volunteering the trunks of their cars, decorating them with Halloween […]

OK, so I’m not Canadian, but when I lived there I loved their Thanksgiving tradition, and it’s one of the many things about Canadian culture that I took with me when I left.

With a family of my own now I felt it […]

I am working on a project in my university to raise awareness about TCKs. I’ll be done this week and hopefully if it is good enough I can post it here. Working on this project has proven to be therapeutic at times […]

I remember when I was fifteen or so, I first described myself as spilled marbles. It was true. I felt called in many directions, none to which I belonged apparently, or seemed to belong. 
I remember when I was […]

Once again the internet has helped me find some research on third culture kids. This time it is a thesis on the subject “Third Route Kids: A New Way of Conceptualizing the Adult Third Culture Kid Experience” by […]

I only learned of the term TCK this year and I can’t express how excited I was to know that there were others like me. I’m not a missionary kid. I’m not a military brat. I’m biracial. I’m half Mexican, and half […]

Yeah go ahead, you can be a little jealous…. we went. We went to the Singapore Grand Prix! So there are some perks to living on the other side of the world after all! And having a brother-in-law who lives in […]

The weather has been awful here with torrential rain and crazy winds – apparently Perth is known as Australia’s “Windy City”… who knew! I suppose you don’t get great waves for surfing if you’re not this windy. […]

I distinctly remember members of our family telling us not to bother looking for work in Perth from the UK. They said that it would take as little as a week to land a job there, and if we were contacting […]

Is anyone on here currently studying at the University  of Leicester???
