Growing Up As A Third Culture Kid In Australia

A topic that comes up quite often in our Facebook groups is moving abroad with children. What's the ideal age? Especially if they're going to need to learn a new language? What about the best time of year to move? And how do you make the assimilation process, from learning new cultural norms to making new friends, as smooth and enjoyable as possible?

My guest today is someone who can speak from experience. Sharon Green is the founding editor of online publication SHE DEFINED. And in 1998, just before she turned 12, Sharon migrated with her family from Durban in South Africa to Melbourne in Australia.

Sharon's going to share her experience of being a third culture kid, and how it has shaped her sense of belonging as an adult.
