Interaction’s TCK Care Network - Writings
we (global nomads) aren’t really rootless. We’re just rooted differently - horizontally, not vertically. Our root system is defined more by people, less by places”. Indeed, my root system was based on relationships, not geography. This is also true for the Internet, where we can interact with people from around the planet in Cyberspace.
Interesting article that relates the life of a Third Culture Kid and the Internet. Being a TCK myself it is easy to relate to the feelings that he went through.
The “Where are you from” question is a difficult one for me too. Born in Finland, raised in South America an the Indian Sub-continent, moved back to Europe when was 10, spending 2 years of my life in Finland (when I was 14-15) then spending time in Russia and Ukraine before travelling Europe. I’ve visited very country in Europe exept Norway, Holland, Luxembourg, and Bulgaria, so answering the question “Where are you from?” can be a bit of a challenge at times.
