One of the greatest things about the internet generation is that continuing the conversation with like-minded, globalized Third Culture Kids isn’t anywhere near as difficult as it once was. Thanks to social media, TCKs everywhere can stay connected in ways we’ve never been able to before, and more than that, we can meet others who are experiencing similar things as ourselves, make new friends, and relate with people on a global plane never achieved before.
That’s why I want to invite all my TCK friends out there to join myself and a large group of very intelligent, very excited, and very committed TCKs on twitter for #TCKChat.
#TCKChat is hosted on twitter every other week on Wednesday in two time slots, just to make sure everyone in all time zones can participate. It lasts one hour, and usually consists of 5 or 6 questions followed by every TCK chatting with each-other under the trending topic of #TCKChat. Just click the following link for all the details on #TCKChat you could possibly need, hosted by our incredible friends at Bate Consulting, along with several other amazing TCKs I’ve very much grown to know and love.
To find it, log into twitter, and then search #TCKChat. It’s as simple as that.
So, if you’re looking to meet new TCKs, come join the conversation. We want to hear what you have to say!

You ask me who I am. I tell you
Something, but the truth is
I don’t actually know.
You ask me where I’m from. I give you
A few answers, but the truth is
None of them are right.
You think it’s funny
But you don’t know
What it’s like.
How am I supposed to love
When everyone I love
Is left behind?
I try to be different
When in reality
I just want to be the same.
You ask me who I am. I tell you
Something, but the truth is
I don’t actually know.
wow I loved this!!! its very true and really hit home, as I am a TCK as well!! thanks for writing this!!!
Welcome home
you liars
this is not my home
Should I be
forever grateful
to be here in your world
Do I have to
like it
like you like it
Just because
they are different
doesn’t mean they’re not my friends
Just because
my house was small
doesn’t mean it was ugly
Just because
I look like you
doesn’t mean I am like you
