My dad was a diplomat, so I grew up overseas. The worst culture shock of my life (more like a culture lightning strike) was returning to the United States for college. I didn't know the music, TV shows or movies. Nothing felt like home.
Years later I learned there's a term for me and the friends I grew up with: third culture kids. We live in a space between cultures - not fully at ease in our own country or anyone else’s.
Not surprisingly, I feel most like myself when I’m traveling the world. So grab your passport - I’ll show you around.
