A few changes

I haven't been writing, I know. Things have been a little busy lately... But during the last month I had an interesting realization concerning the blog. 
I kept wondering what the whole blog was about. It was just me scribbling some random thoughts on my travels, and places I have lived, and culture, and cultural differences. All interesting topics, but I could not find a common denominator other than myself. But then I came across this thing called TCKs, Third Culture Kids, and I realized that is EXACTLY what the blog is about.
So what is a TCK? It is "someone who, as a child, has spent a significant period of time in one or more culture(s) other than his or her own, thus integrating elements of those cultures and their own birth culture, into a third culture." I won't go into all the details about being a TCK now, but you will get the picture from reading this blog. And if you crave some quick knowledge there is always wikipedia, an online TCK community, online classes for TCKs, and a really great book.
