Welcome to Among Worlds!

Among Worlds goes directly to the heart issues many adult Third Culture Kids (ATCKs) face: relationships, grief, transitions, home, values and many more. In our content, ATCKs find a lifeline that addresses their unique needs . AW tackles issues that are relevant to ATCKs today and “reunites” them with others of similar experience. Come be a part of our TCK community!

Please be patient with our website as we “unpack our boxes in our new home”! This site may be under construction for a while, but we’re glad you’re here!
