In this very special episode, we invite our guest Selene Collins to tell us the most unique story we've ever heard: growing up on a boat. She shares her stories of living on a boat as a child for 7 years, watching for pirates, sleeping on an anchor, only occasionally being abandoned on other boats to meet other boat kids. We even hear about her re-entry into the English school system. You can find her new book "In Support of Black Lives" on Amazon, with easy links through her Instagram...

In this episode Caye gets to meet a friend of Dan's from his hostel volunteering and backpacking days. Jeremy is a hostel manager in Malaysia and has seen many travellers and volunteers, including Dan, pass through. The gang tell stories, discuss Malaysia as a travel destination, talk about the odd relationship of the business of tourism with the cultural ideal being sold, as well as the odd bubble culture that surrounds long term backpackers and how it's a little similar to the bubble...

In this episode, our guest is Aicha van Edig, born in Germany but grew up moving around multiple countries in Africa. As a cool, fun person we thought she would be perfect to share some general dating stories, and as a final treat to you, dear listener, to test some Third Culture themed bad pick up lines. Hilarity ensues.  Tuesday by Sascha Ende Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/2992-tuesday License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor:...

In this episode, we have a chat with our guest, Trish Navidad, about life expectations and how that varies across cultures. We even somehow got to talking about sports. Trish is the social media manager for TCK Global, an online community for Third Culture Kids, and maintains her own blog @trishtypesaway tackling the issues of people facing the uncertainty of life after finishing university.  Music: Tuesday by Sascha Ende Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/2992-tuesday License:...

Dan and Caye talk one of Caye's favourite topics: music, especially those they associate with different parts of their heritage and history. They discuss the discovery of different music through different countries they lived in and adjusting to new places and the popular (or not) music of the time and place. Caye talks about Spanish Caltic rock, progressive metal and being a jazz snob, while Dan teaches him about Techtonik and uses lyrics as humourous weapons. Music: Tuesday by Sascha...

For this episode, we interview Calvin Widjaja, the host and founder of Global CKtizens, an online show hosting interviews of and for Third Culture Kids. Calvin grew up between Singapore and Indonesia and has thoughts to share on how life sucks but it's what you do about it that uplifts you. We discuss the slippery slope that is nostalgia, especially when you grow up mobile and tie your memories to places, people and media.  He also calls Dan old.  Music: Tuesday by Sascha Ende Link:...

Remarking on the recent passing of grandparents, Caye and Dan talk about their family histories, dealing with both growing up far removed from their extended families due to their mobile upbringings and reacting to their passing while unable to travel. Dan's family history involves the family's experience of the Vietnam War and immigrating as refugees to the USA, while Caye's family dealt with dictatorship in Spain and terrorism in Peru. Sometimes they find room for jokes. Music: Tuesday...

Today Cayetano and Dan had a chance to interview Jen Mohindra, a Third Culture Kid sho grew up between the UK, Australia and Kenya with a mixed and adopted Scottish-Indian-English background. After years of career, Jen has become a Life Coach for TCKs, offering career and life advice for how to use their international backgrounds for their own self-actualisation.  Music: Tuesday by Sascha Ende Link: https://filmmusic.io/song/2992-tuesday License:...

Today we share TCK stories with an invited guest, Chel! We talk travelling unattended as a minor, anthropology, moving with pets and messy CVs.

While testing a new recording method to hopefully increase our audio quality, Caye and Dan just started talking a little about architecture and a lot about movies.  We weren't planning on releasing it but considering we wanted to talk about some of these topics anyway we thought we'd release it as a bit of bonus content.
