Third Culture Kids in a Flat World

A third-culture kid is an individual who has spent a significant part of the developmental years in a culture other than the parent's culture. They develop a sense of relationship to all the cultures, while not having full ownership in any. Elements from each culture are incorporated into the TCK's life but the sense of belonging is to others of similar experience." (Pollock & van Reken, 2001, pg.19)
