About the Blog

This is my new adventure.

I grew up on five continents and have traveled widely. When I was still in grade school, I started collecting postcards. I have boxes of them. These days I try to restrain myself while traveling and mostly just take pictures. I will be featuring both postcards and photos, old and new. The visuals will be supported by quick notes, brief thoughts, maybe some descriptions, or a poem, or a memory.

Hold on and enjoy the ride.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers!

A Bit More About Me

I am a Third Culture Kid (TCK). I grew up moving from country to country. Born in Burma and lived in Mexico, Colombia, Nigeria, Switzerland and the US. My hardest move was to my passport country where I suffered from “reverse” culture shock. As an adult I finally learned about my own tribe – Third Culture Kids who have all experienced the same ups and downs of being global nomads. I took a a step farther and crossed over to being an adult expat in Russia and raised my own Third Culture Kid.

I blogged for almost ten years and still blog at ExpatAlien.blog.

I am also an artist and enjoy mixed media including designing my own needlepoints. I also am becoming more and more of a photography enthusiast.
