Hey everybody. I think that if you want to really get to know someone, it's essential ...

... to know about their past, especially their childhood.

And I've realised that lots of things make sense to people when they hear that I grew up in Thailand. (or they are just confused)

Yup, I spent a total of 13 years of my childhood in Chiangmai, Thailand (was born in Witzenhausen though, love the sound of it 😆). I identified as a foreigner my whole life and when I came to Germany I felt like a hidden immigrant -looking and talking German but not really fitting in yet. I realised that many people struggle to pinpoint their identity in such a globalised world. It's not so normal anymore to have a fixed place or culture you can call home. So these are topics I gave lots of thought since I left my family there and started a new chapter in my life. (I guess, you call it "being an adult"?)
Feel free to ask about it, I love to share thoughts!

So, a warm hello to all the adult TCKs (Third Culture Kids), everybody with a migration background and all the rest, I bet many people can relate, right?
