For damn near all of my life, I’ve struggled with the idea that I am a “Third Culture Kid.”

I’m finding that, at this point in my life, I love everything.

Transitioning from Colorado to Omaha has been… difficult.

I’m really annoyed by the so-called “expat” communities I’ve met this last year.

I really hate traveling.

One of the few times I would use the word “blessed” to describe my life would be when it comes to my friends.

Before I left for South Africa, all I could think was, “I am not allowed to fail.”

I visited a refugee camp for the first time while I was in Malawi.

Well, I’ve been in “jo-burg” for almost two months now, and I think I’m starting to get the hang of this place.

While I probably should be in bed like my roommate Molly, I am actually pretty wired despite not having slept for more than 25 hours. Yay jet lag!
