A person who has spent (or is spending) a significant portion of their development years in a culture or cultures other than their parent’s home culture(s) is termed a Third Culture Kid (TCK). The experience of living overseas during childhood has some major distinctions from what their parents experience as adults moving cross culturally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

An Adult Third Culture Kid is someone who grew up as a TCK. Growing up overseas, knowing that someday, when or before you graduate, you will be returning to your passport country*, affects how you develop and adjust to your surroundings. These differences don’t just go away because you are now an adult.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Globally Mobile Families are the spouses and children of those who have or are moving overseas. They are also known as expat* families in their adopted country. Traveling and adjusting to a new culture away from the familiar poses its own set of unique challenges that are not typically faced when moving to a different neighborhood.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
