Third Culture Kids

Third culture kids (TCK) are people who were raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of their country of nationality, and also live in a different environment during a significant part of their child developmental years (1). Third culture kids: Citizens of everywhere and nowhere. They typically are exposed to a greater volume and variety of cultural influences than those who grow up in one particular cultural setting (2).
