Third Culture Kid (TCK): “Third-culture kids are those who have spent some of their growing up years in a foreign country and experience a sense of not belonging to their passport country when they return to it. In adapting to life in a ‘foreign’ country they have also missed learning ways of their homeland and feel most at home in the ‘third-culture’ which they have created.”
Here is a list of blog posts and articles Not of this World has done that specifically relate to being a TCK:

Hi,
I have recently moved back to my passport country (UK) and finding it really hard with all the culture shocks etc..
I was wondering weather you could do a post on going back to your passport country or respond to my comment with some advice on how to get used and adjust to life.
Thanks
Love your blog its great
Hi Bethany! That’s funny that you asked that because I JUST finished writing an article about that very topic. 🙂 Look for it on the blog in the next few days!
