For Third Culture Kids, Travel Is Home. Like so many TCKs, I bookmark my life by country.

For Third Culture Kids, Travel Is Home

My first vivid memory is from pre-handover Hong Kong—greasy paper bags filled with freshly baked biscuit rolls on board the Star Ferry that crosses Victoria Harbour. I got into my first fight in Australia, had my first kiss in India, smoked a cigarette for the first time in Indonesia. When someone mentions a year to me, I first bring it back to where I was and use that as a temporary anchor for my thoughts, much as each city served as a transient mooring during my upbringing.

I decided it was definitely time to share 10 of these with you (please note that any technology based ones will follow in a different post), to hopefully make your lives easier and assist you with planning your trip away from home.

These are not things that you will definitely need as a backpacker and some will be useful for those of you who are just going away on holiday for a few weeks, but they will come in handy I promise!
